Florida's First Coast
Tidal creek preserves, Atlantic beaches, maritime forests, bald eagle habitat, and freshwater lakes — all within reach of wherever you're staying.
Most visitors to the First Coast come for the history or the beach and leave without knowing about the nature that runs between them. Tidal marshes, cypress forests, boardwalk trails over saltwater creek systems, and state parks that border the Atlantic — it's all here, most of it free, and most of it quiet enough that you can hear the herons land.
