Barefoot Beach
Preserve County Park
This park is 342 acres of natural land,
one of the last undeveloped barrier
islands on Florida’s Southwest Coast.
It is popular for its beautiful, superb
surroundings and great opportunities
for avid fishermen, who enjoy many
types of fish in the area. The inland
side of the island provides tidal
creeks and mangrove swamps which
serve as breeding areas and as a
nursery for sport and commercial fish
and shellfish. There is also one-mile
nature trail available which is great
for bird watching! Find out complete

sugar sand and crystal blue Gulf of
Mexico water has been rated as one
of the best beaches in the nation
several times! This park is popular for

water, paddle boarding, snorkeling
and more! Kayakers can enjoy
paddling through estuaries or out
into the Gulf. Both saltwater and
freshwater fishing are available. There
is a hard bottom reef 80-100 feet from
