Stretching 20 miles into the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, St. Joseph Peninsula is a true wildlife haven. The St. Joseph Peninsula is known for its sandy white beaches and tall dunes on the Gulf of Mexico side and marsh on the St. Joseph Bay side. The park, teeming with wildlife, provides vitally important habitat for beach nesting birds (including the snowy plover), three species of sea turtles, and two remaining core populations of endangered St. Andrews beach mouse. The park is ideal for getting away, swimming, fishing, and enjoying Florida's Gulf Coast and spectacular sunsets.
