Pepper Park Beach — Attraction in Orchid Island

I’m decorating my new house in beach cottage style so my friend says, “Let’s go shelling at Pepper Park Beach! It’s one of the top beaches to go shelling near Hutchinson Island! You can even find driftwood there and my neighbor says you can find whole conch shells there!”

We had a great time walking the beach, finding shells and driftwood and enjoying nature. You’ll never find the same shell twice. We found calico scallops, turkey wing shells, 3-inch cowry shells and more. No conch shells but we arrived around 2:30 pm after the post-Thanksgiving vacationers had scoured the beach. We decided to spend the night at my friends house and wake up early to go shelling next time.

It’s a great family beach. It really wasn’t crowded at all. Kids of all ages were enjoying the gentle waves. They had lifeguards on duty. The park facilities included bathrooms...

This is a terrific little park with free parking and a nice beach. This also happens to be one of the best places in Florida for Beach Scuba diving when the visibility is good although so far I really haven’t seen all that much there other than the typical Florida beach ledges with Reef structures which aren’t colorful or all that exciting. You can’t beat it for a place to go diving for just the cost of an air refill if you’re on your own gear at least not for Florida. It’s nothing like Beach diving in the islands but it doesn’t cost you thousands of dollars to fly there and stay in some overpriced hotel room either so you really shouldn’t miss it if...

Awful. We went over there and the park was completely taking over by Mexicans, leaving garbage allover the place, and having extremely ugly loud obnoxious music. And even so, my husband went to the bathroom, and he said that some guy had a very loud boom box there. Not only that, they had a food vendor truck in the middle of the road, preventing cars to go by. And if we hunch and them they gave us an unseen look. Not even the locals wanted to stay there. Few people walk in and got out upset. They shouldn't allow them taking over the Park like that. The same thing happened at the Fort Pierce Inlet...
