About this place
Added by Josh Hollandsworth
If you are a wildlife enthusiast, or you just like some great beach scenery, this is the spot for you!
There are multiple out-and-back and loop hikes in this wildlife refuge, but the main attraction is the lighthouse along the Gulf Coast. Right next to the lighthouse is a pond where you are guaranteed to see several alligators. If you hike to the end of the levy across from the lighthouse you can catch an amazing sunset and the occasional dolphin sighting.
A great place to take your family to show them the wildlife or maybe a place to take that special someone for a relaxing sunset view.
