Grand Lagoon

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

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.

Boardwalk at Big Lagoon State Park

Highlight • Trail

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.
