Located on one of Northeast Florida's unique sea islands, Big Talbot Island State Park is primarily a natural preserve providing a premier location for nature study, bird-watching, and photography. Explore the diverse island habitats by hiking Blackrock Trail to the shoreline, Big Pine Trail to the marsh, or Old Kings Highway and Jones Cut through the maritime forest.

Bordering the Nassau Sound and Atlantic Ocean (2 miles of shoreline), Amelia Island State Park includes the George Crady Bridge Fishing Bridge/Pier that spans the Nassau Sound, with restroom facility at bridge. The fishing bridge is open from 8 a.m. until sunset. This mile-long bridge across the Nassau Sound formerly allowed the public to cross over to Big Talbot Island.
