River to Sea Preserve

Beth Fine

We stopped by today after a rainstorm and had a great visit at the beach. There is a parking lot, restrooms and wastebaskets. You can see some of the photographs that there are turtle nests protected, sea grapes and a beach. Rick jettys line the beach. No Ilifeguard is present.

Lovely day out, large rocky beach if your one for searching through Rock pools. Restroom and plenty of parking.

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL FLORIDA BEACH! We visited the beachside area at the northeast section of this preserve. The uniqueness of this beach is the sandstone boulders scattered along the sandy beach. Low tide is recommended for walking along the beach, unless you are adept at hiking across large rock formations. The beach is rich with beautiful scenes as the ocean crashes over the boulders making ripple effects and little waterfalls along the way. Flocks of various seabirds certainly enjoy feeding and playing along the shoreline. Another one of the ideal features of this beach is that it is dog friendly. My dog had a blast playing on the beach even venturing into the cold water. The area is adjacent to Marineland of Florida which was the “World's First Oceanarium,” and opened in 1938. It is now a dolphin conservation center and the interactive Marineland Dolphin Adventure. At the southern point of this preserve is a walking trail on the west side of A1A which is on my list to visit next time. Definitely want to go back! LR Feb.4, 2022
