2. Winterhaven Park

This is truly a treasure we found on our trip to Ponce Inlet. There is a small but uncrowded beach area with restrooms, shower, grills, and picnic tables. The inlet water, sand, lush greenery, and view of the lighthouse in the distance add to the beauty of this site. Access is free to pedestrians. There is plenty of parking but cars are not allowed on the beach in this area. It is a very short walk from the park to the ocean side beach and jetty. This is a very family friendly spot.

If you have young kids or even teenagers, this is a nice, educational opportunity to experience some marine life like sea turtles and sting rays, lion horses , an octopus and other kids of fish. This rehabilitation center is very fun to learn about how the center rehabs these animals. The kids also get to feed them with the assistance of the workers . Great experience and the cost is a bargain! $5 for adults and $2-3 for children. The venue is small , can get crowded at times, parking is a bit challenging to find , a small gift shop also; otherwise a must go even for adults. I’d give it a 4.5 star out of 5 only bc of parking.
