Huguenot Memorial Park

Unique experience of camping next to the beach, yes there are stickers, so where shoes around your camp. The beach is perfect though, no issues. Loved it & would go back. The staff were very friendly & helpful with things going on in the area. They mentioned the F-35 jets would be flying, really cool.

Very nice person at front gate, letting us know where we could park and not get stuck, but still close to beach access. Restrooms were available (although a distance away). Found some angel wings and shark eye shells. Will be back, worth the entrance fee of $5.

Hi everyone. I want to tell you about this park, which is a swimming beach where you can drive right in for only $5!!! It's partly a nature reserve (you can see turtles living in their natural habitat and freely roaming the roads), and it has natural sand dunes (where rare birds nest!), and it's a park for relaxing in a motorhome for a week or a weekend, and a place for surfing and kitesurfing, a family beach for swimming with small children, and some people even come here to take photos and celebrate their wedding!

Best place to drive on beach, the jetty you can discover ocean life and shells! Check the tides before you go, low tide is best! Long stretch of beach from jetty to bird sanctuary that overlooks the inlet and Little Talbot Island

Huguenot Memorial Park is a serene and thoughtfully maintained waterfront park, a space that offers both natural beauty and historical significance. The park provides lovely open areas and scenic views, fishing, camping, making it a great spot for peaceful walks, quiet reflection, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The memorial elements add meaningful context and make the visit educational as well as relaxing. The grounds are generally clean and well cared for, and the atmosphere is calm and respectful. While a few more benches, shaded areas, or updated informational signs would enhance the experience, it is still a wonderful place to visit. Overall, it’s a tranquil park that’s well worth spending time at, especially for those who appreciate history and scenic surroundings.

I absolutely love Huguenot! I've been going here for decades & it has changed over the years but still a wonderful beach experience as well as an awesome place to see many types of birds! And the sunsets are spectacular over the river as are the sunrises over the ocean.

Higuenot Memorial Park was such an interesting visit. As I entered the park entrance kiosk to pay the $5 fee, a dozen cyclists were exiting in two colorful rows. A helicopter was repeatedly flying the same repetitive course above the park in perfect, wide open blue skies. Butterflies were flitting through the flowers growing on the fenced, sand dunes. Choppy, royal blue water was sloshing against the shore of the St. John River and the old, dilapidated road running along the Park's bank. This side of the park offers cool views of the naval station across the water. There is plenty of activity due to tug boats, barges and boats in general (and the helicopter that flew by every few minutes. There are nice restrooms, sandy campgrounds with scattered palm trees. The calm, sandy family beach on the opposite side of the park allows vehicles to drive alo g the beach out to the point where the St. John River meets the Atlantic Ocean. I saw plenty of fishermen and several RV campers. It was VERY windy to the point my eyes watered. The playground was so cool, featuring things I've never even seen. I did try out the long "rope-looking" swing that swings side to side, rather than front to back. My visit was action packed, even though I went alone! Great random stop!
