Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, Palm Coast

This is a beautiful State Park near Palm Coast FL. There are are two distinct portions to this park. The Gardens section is wooded and has nice shaded trails along the Inter Coastal waterway. There is a playground for kids, Picnic areas and places to fish. Some trails are also available for cycling. The Beach side of the park is right on the Atlantic and has has some spectacular Coquina rock/reef formations that are quite unique. Both areas are family friendly and it was not overly crowded the day we spent there. I highly recommend this as a place to visit. We plan to go there again!

This is one of the beautiful state parks in Florida. The park features formal gardens surrounding a huge old live oak tree.
