FORT PIERCE INLET STATE PARK Fort Pierce, Florida Contact Information 905 Shorewinds Drive Fort Pierce, 34949 (772) 468-3985 Driving Directions Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year. Located on the north shore of Fort Pierce Inlet, this 340-acre park of Atlantic beach, dunes and coastal hammock provides hours of fun. Adjacent Jack Island on the Intracoastal Waterway is a bird watcher's paradise. |
| Plantlife At the park, swimmers and surfers on their way to the beach cross through a community of beach grasses, sea oats and creeping vines. Please walk only on the boardwalks. They protect feet from sandspurs, stinging nettles, prickly pear cactus and also protect the plants that anchor the dunes from being trampled. Behind the dunes lie maritime hammocks (seaside hardwood forests), which are rapidly disappearing outside the park because of demand for land development. A 20-minute, self-guided trail leads through a hammock of wind-pruned live oaks, cabbage palms, sea grapes and strangler figs. Park Activities PicnickingThe park has 5 covered pavilions that are available either on a first-come, first-served basis or by reservation. |
