T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park
|
With miles of white sugar sand, this park has one of the top rated beaches in the United States. There is something here
for everyone to enjoy with a multitude of recreational opportunities and abundant wildlife activity. Come and enjoy nine miles
of white sand beach and some of the most prominent dune formations in the United States.
Sunbathing, snorkeling, and swimming are popular activities along the Gulf of Mexico and St. Joseph Bay. From offshore,
canoeists and kayakers can take in a superb view of the high dunes and sand pine scrub.
Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, and bicycling. As a coastal barrier peninsula, St. Joseph provides
excellent opportunities for bird watching; over 240 species have been sighted in the park. A boat ramp is located at Eagle
Harbor on the bay side. Campers can stay in a full-facility campground, a short walk from the beach, or at primitive
campsites in the wilderness preserve. Eight cabins on the bay side offer alternative overnight accommodations.
