This is a great dog park/hike! I love seeing all the doggies! Also the beach is beautiful, and theres some wildlife if your lucky. Plenty of sand dollars to look at and pretty stones and sea glass. There are stairs near the parking lot and stairs near Lake Merced area, a good way to get those steps in! Such a gem!

Were from Indiana, and wanted to take our youngest to the beach for her 1st time! She LOVED the beach! ️ One of the best parts of this beach, was the showers to help wash off the sand!

Seven and a half mile walk with a beach to swim half way between start to finish approximately 2:30 min walk hike time real quiet always a long dry or wet hot trip but massive gains in stress reduction only a few other fit folks on the trail its one of the last places in the area to escape if you need to get away clear your mind and wear yourself down in a healthy way Perdido trail is the ticket

I like the preservation of the nature. Allowing nature to co-exist. Our condo literally butys up to the park.

One if the nicer beaches in the area. Quiet, peaceful, restful. Not commercialized like the other local beaches. One of the treasures in this area. If youre looking for a nice place to take the kids or just to read a book and listen to the waves this is the place. I 5 star this beach for its natural beauty. There are several access points with shelters and bath areas. Very nice. No pets or camping on this end but camping and lodging is available locally.

Dogs are NOT allowed, idk why the reviews say they are but I just drove an hour to have a park ranger come up and point at my dog for 5 minutes before he could open his mouth and use his big boy words to tell me what the problem was. Flora-Bama area needs to make some dog friendly areas, it’s rude.

Beautiful day! Nice sunshine but the water was a little bit cold. The people that were at the beach were all nice! There were people playing volleyball, dodgeball. Baseball, basketball, and running races in the sand. The sand was so clean, the kids were finding sea shells and old fossils! There was drift wood that was nice and weathered. It was a good time. Everything was perfect. We found a parking spot right away. I highly recommend this place!

Beautiful beach! Not overcrowded, clean, free parking in most areas. The bathroom at beach #3 could be cleaner but other than that it is awesome!

Review №24

Lovely beaches. Parking was three dollars for a vehicle ($1.50 for Veterans/military). Bathrooms were locked by the time I got there 430 so youll want to plan accordingly. Waves happened to be a bit rough but that was expected due to the storms in the area. Overall, Id love to come back when its a bit warmer.

One of the best stretches of beach in the Panhandle. Very rarely crowded, sugar white sand, turquoise waters, lots of small to medium sized colorful shells

Beautiful beach. The park is just the parking area and boardwalk / restrooms / showers. Not a lot of parking, so get there early! This park was unmanned when I visited. Big Lagoon is nearby.

This State Park is a beach access with bath houses, picnic shelters and plenty of parking. It has two entrances approximately a mile apart on the beach Blvd. There are signs at both entrance but they are small and somewhat hard to see.There is a $3 per vehicle fee you deposit in a honor box. The park is very well kept and we enjoyed our visit there.

Visited on a weekday at 5 pm to sunset.Pros: There were but 5 other people on the beach so it was quiet and peaceful. The sand was clean, white, cool and of fantastic texture. The water was warm and clear.Cons: I did not experience any though I did not use the restrooms.

This is a wonderful state park near Gulf Shores, Alabama. It has a beautiful white sand beach with board walks acrossed the dunes from the bathrooms. Parking is limited but ensures the park is never crowded.

Enjoyable beach with less foot traffic than many other beaches in the area. Cannot be seen from the road which offers it a more private feel. You will have to pay $3 for parking. (Worth it.) Has public bathrooms, showers and spigots. Shells are slightly better quality than other more combed over beaches.

One of the nicest beach weve been. The sands so white, the beachs so blue. We camp at big lagoon and drove here for 15mins. It was free since we were campers in big lagoon.

Definitely not as packed as Pensacola beach. Great way to get out and enjoy the sun. Certain areas include pavilions that are equipped with tables and a grill if you want to have a cookout.

Review №72

While i love Pensacola Beach, during the summer months, it is an absolute nightmare to get to with only the 2 lane bridges to Gulf Breeze and then to Pensacola Beach. So to avoid the aggravation of dead stop traffic and over crowded beaches, I went to Perdido to see what it was all about (I just moved to the area 2 months ago) and I fell in love. While not as touristy as other beach areas, it was easy to find parking, plenty of room on the beach, and beautiful sand and water. Perdido is definitely my go-to when all the tourists are swarming at Pensacola Beach and I just want to chill and enjoy the beach.

Lovely beach, clean facilities, covered picnic tables, absolutely terrific park/beach. Please pay the small parking fee, $3, to help care for our parks. And smokers, quit using the beach as an ashtray !

This is a beautiful park with bathrooms, showers to rise off (not full) and a good amount of parking.It costs $3 per car and it’s based on the honor system.The beach was beautiful and I’d recommend going there for a fun day in the sun.

Review №81

This is one of my favorite beaches in the whole area. Ive yet to see it crowded, the water is always beautiful and we often see an abundance of marine life. Today we saw small sea turtles, good-sized crabs, a stingray and (thankfully) only one jellyfish. The only issue, and I understand that it does not happen often, was the biting flies. Another beach-goer told me that they come out the first time that there is a North wind. Im sure they wont even be present tomorrow. Dont pass up this beach! But dont tell too many people, I like it quiet !

If you need a quiet place to get away with the kids, plan a trip here. You can fish and enjoy a basically private beach. We watch the Blue Angels practice from here. It was a perfect spot! Clean bathrooms. too. It cost $15 for our car load/family, but this also included admission to two other parks for 7 days. Well worth it.

All alone on the beach at sunset. It was beautiful.

Review №97

Off season was almost empty. But the color of the send reminded me of snow. Good place for quiet walk and listening to the wind blowing over small dunes. It was too cold for a swim but the sun, water and fall wind were just enough to say that the visit was worth it...

Review №100

Low-key spot, not much of a park per se, but modest bathrooms + picnic tables with boardwalk access to pristine, white sands beach make it worth the nominal price.Please pay the paltry $3 fee, folks! Its an honor system. The state provides/maintains it and residents get to enjoy it.
