Henderson Beach State Park

Henderson Beach State Park adds a winding coastal-scrub trail to a Gulf beach day. The three-quarter-mile route passes through dunes and vegetation, while six picnic pavilions and a playground overlooking the Gulf of Mexico give families places to pause away from the shoreline.

Split the visit between Gulf shoreline time and the three-quarter-mile dune and vegetation trail.

Bring a picnic for one of six pavilions; the playground overlooks the Gulf of Mexico.
