Review & FAQ:

When it comes to state parks in Florida, Big Talbot Island is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful. This natural preserve isn’t just a great place to enjoy recreational activities, it’s also truly fantastic for birdwatching, nature studies, and photography.

Big Talbot Island State Park is situated on a unique sea island along Florida’s northeastern coast, which is why the preserve has such a diverse landscape to explore.

Take a tour of the salt marsh from a boat, hike the Blackrock Trail, or take Jones Cut to see a spectacular maritime forest. Bring a bicycle with you when you visit Big Talbot Island, as this park is home to a multi-use Timucuan Trail that offers breathtaking views of Spoonbill Pond.
