7. St. Andrews State Park
Positioned on a barrier peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico and the calm Grand Lagoon, St. Andrews State Park is a true ecological treasure. It offers over five miles of brilliant white sand and intensely vibrant emerald waters. Unlike the busy tourist strips nearby, this protected park is a peaceful destination for nature lovers. Visitors can enjoy world-class snorkeling right off the rocky jetties, comb the shoreline for rare seashells, and quietly observe hundreds of species of migratory coastal birds.
