9 Beaches Worth Finding. Florida's Best Oceanfront State Parks.

Florida has 1,350 miles of coastline. Most of it got sold. These nine places didn't. We're traveling Florida's entire Atlantic coast - from the Georgia border to the Florida Keys - hitting the oceanfront state parks and one Nature Conservancy preserve that most visitors drive right past on their way to the usual beach towns. Ancient coquina rock formations. A lighthouse that's been standing since 1825. A campsite thirty feet from the Atlantic. Water in the Florida Keys that looks like the Caribbean without leaving the country. This is the planning episode for anyone who wants the ocean without the crowds, the history without the hotel, and the beach without the bar next door. These parks protect some of the last undeveloped Atlantic shoreline in Florida - barrier islands that haven't been built on, limestone formations that have been shaped by the sea for thousands of years, and beaches where the biggest competition for a good spot is a nesting sea turtle. We cover what makes each park worth the drive, what you need to know before you book, and what most visitors miss when they get there.🌎 Keep Gallivanting With Me If you liked this story, you’ll love what’s waiting on my YouTube channel: youtube.com/@ChadGallivanter See more photos, behind-the-scenes, and upcoming trips on Instagram: instagram.com/ChadGallivanter More travel stories, history deep-dives, and extras live at: ChadGallivanter.com📬 Questions, ideas, or media requests?
