About

A barrier island on the Atlantic Coast between Amelia Island and Little Talbot Island, Big Talbot Island is best known for its unusual rocky shoreline called, “Blackrock Beach.” These rocks are actually decaying vegetation brought in by the tides and hardened under the sun’s rays. One step on this beach, with its sweep of dark rocks, saw palmetto on the bluffs and the bleached bones of live oaks turned to giant driftwood along the shore, and you’d think you’re in Hawaii. This premier Florida state park is the perfect location for wildlife viewing, exploring diverse habitats and, of course, Boneyard Beach. Boneyard Beach is home to a huge collection of protected driftwood. Driftwood is an understatement as many of the ocean bleached “bones” are from towering ancient oaks and huge fallen cedar trees that litter the entire beach for miles.Our Big Talbot Island trips allow you to walk in the footsteps of ancient Native Americans and French and Spanish explorers. Paddling along the shoreline, the scenery is stunning and the wildlife is abundant. Half-day trips provide an opportunity to experience this unique locale from a different perspective with short stop on the island for a snack and a few pictures; and Full-day trips offer the perfect opportunity for a picnic lunch under giant driftwood trees and plenty of time for play and exploration.
