Yes really, I have been all over the world's beaches and honestly these in the park are still the most stunning - at least in the last couple of years. Deserted, pristine and the bluest cleanest water ever. We love it here, walk to the point or sail to the point - 7 miles there and 7 miles back. Hike through the center and cut across massive sand dunes (where signs tell you you can), small trails along the bay. Sand dollars, stingrays, the odd fin! and myriad little fish, never seen more than 3 or four people this far out walking. Cabins/campsite and primitive campsite available. Ask for primitive parking pass if just going in for the day so you can park right by the start of the walks to beach and bay.

Gorgeous state park -- $6 for two people. We went to one of the public beaches on the island and it was very dirty. So we drove here and it was a perfect beach without any sort of crowd. We saw dolphins in the water too! The barbecue areas are also amazing and the bathrooms are very clean.

What a beautiful state park! I'm shocked it's yet to be reviewed. There's a lot to be said for this sacred space: great beaches for humans and dogs alike, clear water, perfect campsites, and millions of stars at night. It's quiet and relatively secluded, which is nice considering you're not far from other major areas along the coast. In a way, coming here is almost like having an island to yourself. The sites are very limited, so book early!
For those of you who are concerned about showers/bathrooms: this place offers nice clean showers and stalls, at least for the women. I'd assume the guys are the same - sorry I didn't peak in, ha!
A real hidden gem on the Florida coast and the perfect getaway from all the usual crazy towns and hotels that dot the beaches. If it's peaceful, all natural fun you're looking for, St. Joseph's can provide! -

We drove a long, long time to get to this place and were very sad to pull up at 10 pm to a locked gate (due to my failure to read the part about the gate closing at sunset). Good fortune led us to ranger Billy Quinn at the Rush park. He helped us to reach the after hours staff who gave us the gate code . We made it to our campsite and enjoyed a peaceful night. The campground itself is very nice, clean bathroom, washer and dryer, but the real jewel is the beach. Warm blue green water, white sand. The kids loved it. Would love to spend a week there
