Review:
A hidden gem within a neighborhood just a stone's throw from the Intracoastal Waterway, the Castaway Island Preserve is a stellar outdoor location to spend a fun day with family. The preserve is perfect for families with young children as its most popular feature is a one-mile trail designed to be interactive and educational for active youngsters. The trail is easy to follow with animal prints pointing the way and features information boards with interesting factoids. Take a walk down to the dock to soak in some awe-inspiring views of northeastern Florida and keep an eye out for the native marshland wildlife that call the area home. Additionally, the preserve is a great place to launch a kayaking trip or a round on your paddleboard.
