Welcome to Anastasia State Park

More than 1,600 acres of unspoiled beaches, tidal marshes, maritime hammocks and ancient sand dunes make this a captivating destination for visitors.


Pay Online, Single-Use Day Pass

Anastasia State Park is a haven for visitors and for wildlife. Abundant wading birds hunt for food along Salt Run, including colorful roseate spoonbills. Osprey and eagles rule the skies, and painted buntings and warblers often flit about the hammock forests.

Visitors can observe wildlife along the beach from a canoe or kayak, or on the Ancient Dunes Nature Trail.

As an extra bonus, the park’s 139 campsites are just a short stroll from the beach.

Anastasia Island Beach Mouse

Who can you find scurrying among the sacred vegetation of the park’s coastal dunes? Why the endangered Anastasia Island Beach Mouse! Marked with a light buff colored back, pure white underparts, and indistinct white markings on their face, this adorable creature has become this park’s unofficial mascot.
