Located in Gulf Breeze just off South Sunset Boulevard and Shoreline Drive, this popular 105-acre waterfront park provides convenient access to English Navy Cove and Santa Rosa Sound. The facility features a dedicated boat ramp alongside picnic tables, a fishing pier, swimming area, and a large gazebo, making it a well-equipped launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The park's wooded shoreline and open water access make it ideal for paddlers exploring the protected waters of Santa Rosa Sound.
This site is particularly popular with boaters due to its proximity to Pensacola Pass—only seven miles away—offering opportunities for paddlers looking to venture into open Gulf waters or stay in the calmer sound waters. The shallow, protected cove environment suits kayaks and canoes well. With several campground options nearby, including Fort Pickens Campground and Naval Live Oaks Youth Group Camping, the area is well-suited for multi-day paddling trips. Gulf Islands National Seashore is also accessible from this location, providing excellent paddling destinations along Florida's emerald coast.
