Easy hikes and walks around Perdido Beach

A good stop. Has a gazebo if the sun and heat getting too much.

This was a great stop on the trail. Take a moment and listen to the birds and feel the breeze.

Big Lagoon State Park is situated next to Big Lagoon (go figure), which separates the mainland of Florida from the Gulf of Mexico. The park plays host to a load of recreational activities and amenities, one of which is a small trail system and pretty epic boardwalk. Just outside of Pensacola, this is a popular spot for tourists and locals, alike.

The lookout tower at the end of the Big Lagoon Observation Tower Trail peers over Big Lagoon into the Gulf of Mexico. You can also look back at the boardwalk and Tarklin Bayou State Park to the north. This is a super hiking destination that doesn't take very long to walk to.

Grand Lagoon is much, much smaller than Big Lagoon, but it is a tad bigger than its neighbor Long Pond. The Sand Pine Trail passes right next to the water and offers views out towards the observation tower at the southern end of the park.
