Little Talbot Island State Park

We drove along the coastal highway that overlooks all the trails, beaches and waterways at Little Talbot Island. The parking area was full and busy on a March 2026 Saturday. Cyclists were geared up. Visitors were enjoying the scenic overlook of dead trees on the beach. A sign illustrates some common birds to look for. We rode our bikes along a nice boardwalk overlooking the water. People were riding by on electric bikes and scooters, as motorcycles and vehicles passed on the highway. We stopped at a couple of bird-viewing observation decks. We crossed a couple of bridges and rode into Big Talbot Island State Park. People were sun-bathing along all the various water access points. There were trails, paddle launches, boat ramps, fishing piers, sunshine, shade, sandy beaches, dunes, plenty of scenic views, rest areas and lots of people enjoying the "salt life."

Stopped here to look for shells and the gentleman who let us through was really friendly and helpful. It was a cloudy, cooler day and we were the only ones out on the beach. It was a neat spot with tons of shells and beautiful scenery.

It's an awesome place to fish and camp. Restrooms are available kids playground and the beach is further out from the jetty. The only con is thd closing hours, I feel like they could extend it back to the way it was. Im pretty tired of the park closing when the fish starts biting.

Timucuan Trail head starts here. Goes thru the Talbot Islands and connects to Amelia Island trail. Beautiful Paved Trail.

Great campground and park rangers/staff. We camped at site #1 near restrooms found it to be a good tent site. Don’t miss boneyard beach and bringing your bikes is a must!

Arrived July 19 to site 19 for 4 nights. The check in is on the beachside and the campground is gated across the road. Very narrow roads that allow for only one vehicle at a time with many low hanging branches. Very small and private sites with #19 having an odd corner post that made backing in difficult. We walked the campground, looked but did not use the restroom facility (nice and new) and tried to kayak. Even during high tide there were very low spots and the winding water way proved tricky to navigate. The beach access was beautiful and can be busy on the weekends. The beach is great for walking and finding sand dollars. Traveled to boneyard beach with beautiful driftwood backdrop. Only negative was a lack of cell signal for Verizon. We found this campground so special that we already booked a return visit before we even checked out. Don’t forget to bring cash- the ranger station sells shirts, magnets and stickers.

Gorgeous quiet campground with hot showers and access to a protected wetlands, and a beautiful beach.
