I love it! A river that turns into a beach. You get soaked in the river and then in the ocean. What else can you ask for? This place gets full, quickly. There’s camping and it’s FUN ? My kid loved it!! Make sure to get mosquito repellent, a must.
Great park for so many activities like biking, kayaking, picnics, etc. very clean and well kept. It does get very full on the weekends and if you don’t arrive early they may not let you in due to the park being at capacity. My only complaint is that they seem to need more staff at the rental office. Having just one person is not efficient and creates a huge line.
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful paddle out here amongst the mangroves. It’s cool to paddle by the boats parked in the water. We ways bring our own boards but we’ve also tried the kayaks during a moonlight tour and that was fun! They have amazing bike trails a definite must try!
I’ve been coming to this park for years to kayak. I love the views, and the area. If you are not paying attention, the mangrove trees will knock you off your kayak, or your kayak can get stuck on the mangrove roots/branches. The staff used to be a lot nicer, but last time i went, they were very busy. It’s a very big park, with a lot of space to cover with the kayaks, bring a hat, sunglasses, and SPF because you will definitely get sunburned.
