Pier Park
Previously used as a military base, this state park is loaded with activities. It has boat ramps, piers, beautiful private beaches and trails. Admission is charged at a per-car basis. I suggest visiting the East side near the rock jetties where you can see large boats travel by, snorkel or see families of dolphins!

PCB is blowing up with new construction and big-name attractions. I highly suggest visiting some of the original stores and restaurants that made this town great before they are gone! Try Thomas Donuts along Front Beach or Goofy Golf by the M.B. Miller Pier!
