Welcome to Big Lagoon State Park
This coastal park sits on the northern shoreline of its namesake, Big Lagoon,
which separates the mainland from Perdido Key and the Gulf of Mexico. Natural
communities, ranging from saltwater marshes to pine flatwoods, attract a wide
variety of birds, especially during the spring and fall migrations. Beaches,
shallow bays, nature trails, and open woodlands offer splendid opportunities for
nature study. The park also beckons visitors with opportunities for camping,
swimming, fishing, boating, canoeing, and hiking. Crabbing in the shallow waters
of Big Lagoon is a popular activity as well. The West Beach picnic area, shaded
by pines and oaks, is just the place to enjoy a relaxing meal. Located on County
Road 292A, 10 miles southwest of Pensacola.
