Welcome to Henderson Beach State Park
Pristine white sugar sand beaches and more than 6,000 feet of scenic shoreline
border the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Boardwalks provide access to
the beach for swimming, sunbathing, and fishing, while protecting the fragile
coastal dunes. Hiking along the nature trail provides visitors a rare glimpse of
the coastal dune ecosystem and abundant wildlife. Full facility campsites have
access to an air conditioned and heated bathhouse facility, a separate beach
access boardwalk with outdoor showers, and a playground. Natural features of the
park include sand pines, scrub oaks, and dune rosemary. Campers can enjoy a
breathtaking view of dolphins leaping through the Gulf waters at sunset the
perfect ending for a day at the beach. Located just east of Destin on U.S. 98.
