Interpretive signs along the boardwalk and a field guide and Children's Activity Book available at the admissions desk in the Blair Center allow each visitor to take the self-guided tour. Benches and rain shelters are along the trail. For those who do not wish to walk the full 2.25 miles, an optional trail shortens the walk to one mile.

 The Park consists of 35 acres of mangrove forest, coastal dunes and 3200 linear feet of beach on the Gulf of Mexico. There is a boardwalk that provides access to the beach through a mangrove forest. The boardwalk is about three quarters of a mile long and can be walked or visitors can ride on a free tram that runs continuously throughout the day. Should you decide to stroll down the boardwalk, you will see three species of mangrove trees, red, black and white. These trees protect and stabilize low lying coastal areas and play a vital role in coastal fishery food chains. For these reasons, mangrove trees are protected by federal, state and local laws. Mangrove trees are unique because they are salt tolerant. The park has lifeguards, refreshments, restrooms, picnic tables, an observation tower, and facilities for the physically challenged. Canoes. kayaks, windsurfers and snorkeling gear are available to rent.
