Avalon State Park, Public beach and nature reserve in North Hutchinson Island, Florida
The state park extends over a mile of Atlantic coastline with native hardwood forests, mangroves, and coastal dunes hosting varied ecosystems.
The beach area contains remnants of World War II training operations, when the United States military conducted amphibious warfare exercises in this location.
The park serves as a scientific research site where experts monitor and protect three species of sea turtles during their nesting seasons.
Visitors can access the park daily from 8 AM until sunset, paying a $2 entrance fee through an honor box system at the main gate.
The protected shoreline contains concrete and steel structures beneath the water surface, creating an artificial reef environment for marine life.
