Don’t miss out on this museum. Beautiful gardens on the river and free admission Tuesday and Friday from 4-9. Bigger than it seems and switches out some artworks to keep fresh things to look at and learn about. COVID precautions require you to RSVP for a time slot to limit the people in the museum at one time. Also mandatory masks.
5. Big Talbot Island State Park

We stopped at this wonderful State Park for a picnic lunch on our way to Amelia island. The beach was otherworldly. It was so beautiful. There was hardly anyone there so the isolation, the wind made the black rocks and the felt trees even more eerie. The trees are on their sides and they call it boneyard Beach because they are like big tree sculptures made of old trees that have fallen over and are dotting the beach everywhere. There's a very unique kind of rock that looks like lava but feels like clay under your feet. We walked for about 6 miles and relish the experience. It was a cross between the Galapagos and the big island in Hawaii right here in the mainland! Don't miss it. It's really a treasure in the state of Florida

We love going to this place. We enjoy finding the different type of sea shells from the listing the ranger gives you.
