big talbot island state park

My son and I went here while camping at Little Talbot Island. The boneyard beach is amazing to see. We spent hours walking along the beach, climbing on the trees, and exploring. At the end of the boneyard is black rock beach, which is cool to climb on and explore the "caves" looking into all of the nooks and crannies. It's nice to see what nature does on its own, with no man made interventions. Definitely will be back, its very cool here.

We walked the shorter trail at the first big parking area to see the beach. We have 4 children 1-9. The older two had fun walking to the beach but in this area on this shorter trail there isn't access to the beach because of erosion. The driftwood is amazing but as a quick detour this wasn't the best choice for the two smaller children. It's 1/2 mile walk to a beach with neat views but no access.

The day we went was cold and rainy, but we still stopped and paid the $3 fee to take a short hike to see the incredible driftwood. Like nothing I've seen before. Stop on your way to Amelia.

This is a beautiful section of beach covered in driftwood and fallen trees just north of Little Talbot Island that is well worth the stop. For those photographers in the crowd make a point of visiting early in the morning (say before dawn) so as to catch a beautiful sunrise picture framed against the dead trees on the beach. Actually you're not supposed to walk on the beach and there are signs prohibiting use but they seem for the most part ignored. A brief visit will likely do but still well worth the stop.

For only $3 the park is a pretty good deal. There is a paved walking/biking path that is part of the east coast green way. Three parking areas at the begining of 3 trail heads. It seems like an awesome place to bike but I was on foot so wouldn't really know. My big complaint is the lack of good signage/information. There are no trail maps save for the permanent ones at the trail head. And only the trailhead at the bluffs(the one the furthest down the road) provides any info about trail mileage. Would I go back? Not to hike but maybe to bike.

Don't miss the Boneyards Beach, the Bluffs. Many trees, now driftwood, on the beach due to erosion. Great trails in the wooded area along the beach. The live oak trees shading the parking lot are just beautiful, what treasures of this area. Can see ships coming in and out of the harbor.

This is very close to Little Talbot but much bigger. It is excellent for birdwatching, beach combing and fishing. Very peaceful.

We went there last week with our grandkids. The beach is beautiful and very large. No crowds, but it is January. This looks like a great fishing spot ! There are several separate areas with picnic tables and grills available for lunch. It is quite a long walk on a boardawalk then a path to get to the beach but worth the distance. We had a picnic and looked for shells on a chilly day but plan to return to fish and see Little Talbot Island as well.

Pay $3 to park and walk the 1/2 mile dirt path to the beach. Awesome at low tide. Lots of huge trees that have been washed away by erosion and also interesting driftwood.

We went there last week while driving around on A1A checking the sights. It was just OK by my standards. Pretty much what all marshlands look like out this way. We did see an osprey, but not much else in the real of nature to speak about. The smell was pretty gassy on the day we visited.

Visited in mid July on an overcast Saturday- we saw over 100 white pelicans, spoonbills, avocets, egrets, herons, woodstorks, etc. Park across the street in parking area and then walk to the beach alongside the bridge. Walk appx 2-300 yards along the beach and you have an awesome viewing spot of all the birds. The new wooden walkway looks nice but doesn't get you very close the bird life. If you continue along you will approach Boneyard Beach.

This was a quick pit stop for us. I had read about the park, and we were driving right by it. It cost $3 to park a car. The only thing we did was walk down to the beach. It's a 1/4 mile walk from the lot. We did have to walk down a slightly steep sandy hill to get to the beach. It is very untouched and left to nature. There are many fallen trees and driftwood covering the beach. It was kinda pretty. It was a nice walk and had very few people.

Big Talbot Island state park has a beautiful, rarely busy, beach full of fallen and falling trees. Go at both low and high tide to have a completely different experience. Costs $3 a day per car to visit. You can park easily and walk the super easy quarter-mile trail out to access the beach. Please respect the rules and enjoy the beautiful features of the beach. Keep it clean and wonderful!

went here for a few photoshoot sessions and got to say amazing amazing views! I love the atmosphere and also the views.

A really nice natural environment for picnicing and biking.Gogeous views, good fishing, wonderful hiking but no over night camping.
