Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Starting at the trailhead you will see huge Spanish moss-laden live oak trees.
From there the wide dirt footpath meanders through a maritime forest of magno-
lia, red cedar, wild olive trees, and saw palmetto. You will also pass blueberry and
huckleberry bushes, but don't pick them. They are protected in the refuge because
they are food sources for the wildlife. Be sure to pick up the “Pine Beach Trail
Guide” brochure at the kiosk before you head out to help you identify the many
trees you'll see. The trail is not blazed but is easy to follow over an old dirt and
gravel road bed.
Hikers make their way over the dunes on the Pine Beach Trail.
Just over halfway through the hike, you'll pass the junction with the Centennial
Trail, and soon after you will arrive at an impressive elevated wildlife-viewing
platform that is a perfect place to stop and have a snack or lunch and take in the
view of Gator Lake and Little Lagoon.
