One of the greatest ways to get a true dose of nature is by exploring the state parks in Florida. Depending on which state park you choose, the experience will be different. For instance, when you explore Florida’s Fort Pierce Inlet State Park, you’ll be able to hike through the coastal hammocks, meander through mangroves, and follow the sandy footpaths straight to the ocean. Sound pretty dreamy? Take a look and see for yourself.

Fort Pierce Inlet State Park in Florida is a beautiful 340-acre park located on Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County.

There are quite a few aspects of nature to enjoy at this park, but for those who want to get straight to the ocean, just follow the sandy footpaths.

Head over to Fort Pierce Inlet for a chance to catch dinner for the night, or visit Jack Island Preserve one mile north, where you can get in some coastal hiking through over 1,000-acres of mangrove forests.
