Little Talbot Island is one of a just a few undeveloped barrier islands left in Northeast Florida. With five miles of pristine beach and 3 miles of biking and hiking trails, visitors can experience several different ecosystems in just one trip.

For hikers, the Campground Nature Trail is an accessible one mile stroll. You'll begin next to the salt marshes of Myrtle Creek and then over gentle sand dunes and into an oak maritime forest. On this 30 minute walk you'll experience three different landscapes and the natural wonders within them.

The sun-bleached cedar and palm trunks that can be spotted along the island are like natural sculptures dotting the beach gallery. The beach is, of course, used for sunning, delving into a riveting beach read and playing sand sports as well as for long scenic walks.
