30A Eco Tours: Explore the Beauty of the Emerald Coast

Point Washington State Forest

When it comes to natural beauty, Point Washington State Forest has over 15,000 acres of it! This sprawling landscape features hiking trails, camping sites, and an abundance of wildlife. If you’re up for a nature walk, lace up your hiking shoes and embark on an adventure through three trail systems. This will lead you through a variety of ecosystems with deer, foxes, rabbits, and more. You can even pack a lunch and enjoy a waterfront snack by Eastern Lake!

Grayton Beach State Park

Grayton Beach State Park is nestled just south of Point Washington State Forest along the coastline. This natural paradise bridges the gap between shoreline and forests to bring you an exceptional day of adventure. Whether you prefer hiking or biking, a four-and-a-half mile trail can lead you through pine flatwoods, coastal forests, and scrub oaks. Just don’t forget to explore Western Lake, the focal point of the area, inviting adventurers to paddle, canoe, kayak, and fish for a variety of aquatic wildlife!

Topsail Hill Preserve

Home to towering dunes, pine forests, wetlands, lakes, and three miles of beaches, you’ll have no trouble filling a day with exploration at Topsail Hill Preserve. This section of 30A especially appeals to birdwatchers for the fascinating wildlife in the trees and skies above. Bring a pair of binoculars, and see if you can spot red-shouldered hawks, eastern bluebirds, ospreys, and rare plovers. Or, spend a cool afternoon by the water at Campbell Lake!
