Ranger-guided walks are provided on weekends and by request. Picnicking and fishing are popular activities. A picnic area is located in a shady hammock south of the gardens. Surf fishing in the Atlantic Ocean for whiting, redfish, bluefish and pompano is a popular activity enjoyed here. A sea-wall is provided for fishing on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Swimming is permitted at the beach.
Because of coquina rocks in the surf, hazardous conditions sometimes exist. No life guards are provided. Some facilities and activities are accessible to people with disabilities. See a park ranger for special needs. All plant and animal life is protected in state parks.
