Little Talbot Island State Park

By Dawn Henthorn, About.com

Undeveloped and Undisturbed: Little Talbot Island is one of the few barrier islands along Florida's Northeast Coast to be left undeveloped. Natural sand dunes and undisturbed salt marshes provide hours of back-to-nature relaxation.
Sand-sational Sand: Long wooden walkways spanning over natural dunes bridge the parking/picnic area and over five-miles of wide, white sandy beaches along the Atlantic coastline. This pristine beach provides endless opportunities for soaking up the sun while you fish, swim, surf or search for shells.
Supreme Camping: Just 40 campsites are nestled along the estuary side of the island. Tents, pop-ups, camping trailers and RVs up to 30 ft. maximum length are provided electricity, water, a picnic table and fire ring. Campers can bring their own kayak or canoe to launch and explore Myrtle Creek.
Location: Little Talbot Island State Park is located east of Jacksonville and south of Amelia Island just south of Big Talbot Island State Park along Highway A1A North.
Hours, Fees & Facilities: Little Talbot Island State Park is open daily 8:00 a.m. until sunset. An entrance fee is required — $4.00 per car, up to eight passengers. There is ample parking and a number of spacious picnic pavilions. Camping fees are $19.00 per day and advance reservations are required.
