Henderson Beach State Park

Thirty foot white sand dunes and warm gulf water.

Imagine a majestic shoreline anchored by 30-foot, snow white sand dunes where basking in the Florida sun or wading into warm Gulf waters is the order of each and every day.

No need to daydream — Henderson Beach State Park makes this a reality. This protected strip of the Emerald Coast isn’t just for relaxation. Fishing, a nature trail and 60 campsites connected to the beach via boardwalk are among this park’s featured areas. This special place was established for the preservation and protection of the area’s natural features and public enjoyment, the last remaining coastal scrub area in Destin.

The park has 60 campsites that can accommodate either tents or RVs, with a mixture of back in and pull-through sites. The sites have water, electricity, picnic tables, ground grills and clothesline posts. Campsites do not have sewer connections; a centrally located dump station is provided for proper disposal of waste. Amenities include heated and air-conditioned restrooms with showers, coin operated washers, dryers and vending machines. Pets are welcome at campsites.

Cost: $6 per vehicle, valid all day.
