Such a beautiful beach! It’s very clean and the water is BREATH TAKING. So blue and clear. It was our first time in Florida and I had looked up this beach. A must when you’re in the Destin area. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back on our future trips to Florida.

Great place to get your toes sandy and wet. The pavilions have a bathhouse and showers outside for your body and feet. The beach access is ramped. Bathrooms were clean and the pavilions have tables and shade for picnics and those who need to be out of direct sunlight. Camping areas offer 60 sites some pull throughs and a dumping station.

We went here because my uncle recommended it it was my late Aunt’s favorite beaches. Definitely earns the name Emerald Coast. Sand was white and soft, when the waves rolled in you can see what’s coming. Definitely recommend!!!

I live across the street from Henderson Park and as such I go there just about every morning and walk the beach I get Early Access so I get to see the Moon Over the beach and I get to see some really great sun rises and some sunsets. This is a wonderfully managed State Park I particularly like Alex who always has a smile on his face. If you can get an RV campsite here you will not be disappointed. However, the campground beach access boardwalk will be closed for repairs from September 2021 through March 2022. Still, it's spectacular and the next state park that you'd should try if you like being on the beach would be Topsail which is about 12 miles down the road but Henderson is easier and a much better day use Park. Topsail which is further down you have to take a tram to get to the beach and I prefer being able to park and walk right over at Henderson

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Any good shelling at Henderson?

Woody 60s Woody | May 12, 2019

Great park and we've been quite a few times but haven't found anything spectacular. Just the basic small clam shells and small bits of sand dollars are all we ever see.

What is the best rig and bait to use on the surf?

Greg Bolick | May 11, 2021
bubby hardy | May 12, 2021

One of the best is sand fleas. If u pay attention where the waves start to pull back off the beach you can catch them. Or go to bait store and get you some of the berkley orange sand flea bites. I also like to use live or froze shrimp on a pompano style rig. Youtube the things ive mentioned and you will get a good look at what im saying. They also sell the metal sand flea rakes about everywhere.

Can you set up a tent here and stay overnight?

Miranda Martin | May 12, 2019
