Overlooking the Bluffs: Big Talbot Island State Park offers the perfect vantage for overlooking the Bluffs, enjoying a picnic, strolling the beach for treasures or taking pictures. It is probably the most unique shoreline in Florida. Erosion caused by centuries of wind and water have taken their toll, creating a 20-foot bluff along the shore that is littered with fallen live oaks and pine trees. There is trail access to the beach.
Location: Big Talbot Island State Park is located east of Jacksonville and south of Amelia Island just north of Little Talbot Island State Park along Highway A1A North.
Hours, Fees & Facilities: Big Talbot Island State Park is open daily 8:00 a.m. until sunset. A minimal entrance fee is required — $2.00 per car — and it is collected on the honor system. There is ample parking and a number of picnic tables. There is a boat ramp and a $3.00 fee for launching your boat. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent from Kayak Amelia.
