About

Located at the southeastern end of the park, the Sea Turtle pavilion can accommodate a maximum of 150 guests. The covered pavilion has 6 large picnic tables, 4 grills, as well as water and electricity. The pavilion is adjacent to bathrooms, and the Island Beach Shop and Grill. Beach access is about 50 yards away. Your rental is good for all day, 8 a.m. to dusk seven days a week. Weddings and certain special events require permitting through Anastasia State Park. There is no alcohol allowed in the state park. Pavilions may be decorated, but balloons, rice, and birdseed are not allowed and no structural changes may be made to the pavilion. All guests are still required to pay the entry fee into the park. YOUR RENTAL FEE IS NOT REFUNDABLE AFTER 48 hours PRIOR TO YOUR EVENT. An event at these pavilions is an outdoor experience. Therefore, we do not refund due to the discomforts of nature such as inclement weather, heat, or insects. It is the responsibility of your group to leave the Pavilions clean and dispose of all trash into nearby trash receptacles. If the Pavilions are not left clean, a $100.00 cleaning fee will be assessed. After your reservation is processed, we will send a follow-up email with a rental contract. The contract must be filled out and returned.

Pavilion reservations do not guarantee park entry. If the park has reached capacity, your entry will not be granted because of a reservation. Please plan to be at your pavilion rental when the park opens at 8am. Car pooling is encouraged.

New Playground Alert! Our brand-new ADA-accessible playground opens May 30, 2025! It's open to all children and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Note: The playground is not included with facility rentals.
