Gulf Islands National SeashoreLocated on the western end of the Florida panhandle, Gulf
Islands National Seashore is a 150-mile (241km) stretch of
undeveloped beach. What it lacks in tourist traps it makes up for
in sheer beauty, and camping, hiking and bicycling in the isolated
in the protected regions is a treat for travellers looking to get
away from the crowded resorts of southern Florida. The park
includes several islands, including Santa Rosa Island (home to the
popular Fort Pickens Campground), Perdido Key, Horn Island, and
West Ship Island (home of Fort Massachusetts). There are no
restaurants or shops in Gulf Islands National Seashore, though most
camping sites are near enough to coastal beach communities that
visitors don't need to bring everything with them.
