Well maintained park with swimming area. Great place to take in a sunset! 40 foot observation tower that wheel chair accessible. Plenty of picnic spots and tables.

Like the nearby Manatee Viewing Center, this is free. It has a wooden observation tower you can walk up or is wide enough for wheelchairs. It is a bit of an incline. There is a beach there (no swimming allowed), a couple of shelters, and a trail you can walk near the beach. There are a couple of restrooms onsite. Overall very scenic, and I might have spent more time there at the little beach if I had thought ahead and dressed for the occasion.

If you wanna read a book and spend some quality time family or loved one ... This place would be perfectly fine... Also, you can get your wedding photo shoots too... Sunsets are good 😊

Beautiful place to visit! No swimming available but plenty of walking trails, beach, and a look out tower that was handicap accessible and perfect for seeing the skyline and ocean. Dog friendly and many well behaved, leashed pups were enjoying their time also. Plenty of parking was available and they have smaller shelters with picnic tables for public use. Benches are also available all over for public use. Restrooms are available but similar to port a potty's so they serve their purpose but not clean. Easy to find location and definitely a great place to visit for all ages and walks of life.
