Take some time to explore St. Andrews State Park: a park perfect for experiencing both the Gulf and the Bay in one place! There are many different habitats throughout the park, providing many ways to enjoy the outdoors.
The park features over 1.5 miles of white sand beaches, coastal dunes, and pine forests, with opportunities for hiking, biking, swimming, paddling, camping, wildlife viewing, and more. It’s also a popular stop for migratory birds and butterflies, making it a great place to have unique experiences no matter what time of year!

Have you noticed changes in the number of cownose rays in St. Andrew or St. Joseph Bays?
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is hosting upcoming virtual workshops to gather public input on cownose ray management in Florida waters. These workshops will cover the current status of cownose rays and possible future management options.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about cownose rays and share feedback. Meeting dates are May 21st and June 2nd.
