Recognized as one of the best beaches in the US, the sandy shore at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park is all-natural and devoid of the high-rise backdrop and development of most of the other local beaches.
A nature trail leads to an observation tower at the beach's north end. Fishermen head to the pass to hook into fish being flushed out of the Cocohatchee River.
This is a popular park, but you can usually find parking in one of the many lots if you arrive early enough. The park posts a sign when it is full, but there's another parking lot less than a quarter mile away if you don't mind walking.
Picnic areas have grills, restrooms and showers.
