Gulf Beaches

The beach you see here is just one stretch of 26 miles of beautiful beaches easily accessible from the Creole Nature Trail. Feel free to pull off and have a picnic, surf fish, take a swim, beach-comb, or just relax. One particularly rewarding beach activity is shelling. You can find dozens of different kinds of shells; each kind the remains of a unique sea creature. Lightning Whelks, Pear Whelks, Horse Conchs, Giant Eastern Murexes, Shark Eyes, Angel Wings and other treasures can be found here, usually in abundance.
