Big Lagoon State Park, State park near Pensacola, United States
Big Lagoon State Park is a coastal area in Florida featuring brackish marshes, pine flatwoods, and sandy beaches along the Gulf shore. The land brings together different environments where saltwater meets inland terrain and wildlife thrives.
This location was long used by people living from the coast who gathered shellfish for food. Archaeological remains show the area had human inhabitants for hundreds of years.
The Florida Park Service manages this protected landscape as part of a network including neighboring Perdido Key and Tarkiln Bayou Preserve State Parks.
The park grounds offer hiking paths, camping spots, and a viewing tower for exploring. A boat launch point lets you get out on the water and see the coastal landscape from a different angle.
The park sits on a major paddling route that circles the entire Florida coast and attracts kayakers from across the region. This makes it a known stopping point for people exploring the shoreline by boat.
