Ocean Hammock Park Walkway — Attraction in Saint Augustine Beach

Parking is free, so that's a big win with me! There were plenty of spaces when I went (on a Thursday afternoon). There's a boardwalk that goes down to the ocean. It's not terribly long, so it should be manageable for most people. There are a few benches built into the boardwalk in case you need to rest along the way. There is a wheelchair ramp at the end of the boardwalk, going into the sand. There were a cpuple lizards sunning on the boardwalk. They were small and fast! Be advised- there is no bathroom of any kind at this lot, no showers, no foot rinse stations.. nothing. This is only parking to get down to the beach. The neighborhood in this area seemed safe and well to-do. The condos were being maintainenced as I was there. They are well kept. There were quite a few people driving their trucks/SUVs on the beach. Apparently, it's allowed, but I don't know if it requires a permit. There was alao a police vehicle that made a pass through on the beach, so it seems there is a good effort to atkeeping this area safe. The sand of the beach was nice and soft. There were shells, but most were broken. The waves were large here, so maybe not a great place to swim, but still a great place to relax. It wasn't too crowded while I was there...

Ocean Hammock Park Walkway is located within the Canaveral National Seashore. The Seashore is just past Mary McCloud Bethune Park in New Smyrna Beach, and is the perfect place for an amateur photographer like me. On this particular Sunday, all the ramps in NSB were closed due to capacity, but The Seashore was peaceful, calm and had relatively few folks on its beautiful beaches, as you can see in my photos. To get there, head south on A1A until it dead-ends at the Ranger Station. The entrance fee is $20 per car and that fee is good for 7 days. You’ll soon come to the Turtle Mounds, which we didn’t stop to see. Next is the visitor center (where I snapped this amazing picture of an Osprey with his fresh catch). There were canoes and kayaks in the lot, so perhaps they can be rented to paddle the inter coastal, which is almost always calm. You then continue to drive past various parking lots where you can walk down to the intercoastal and perhaps put in your kayak or canoe, several intercoastal-side boat ramps, trails and beach access lots with facilities. Bottom line? A wonderful, back to nature, serene, camping friendly, wildlife filled place you must experience when you’re...

I'm from the Augusta, GA area who is handicapp. Only one leg. We went the pier to go swimming. We had a wagon with our chairs, towels and no access to the water. We would had to climb over steps and carry the wagon. I asked the police officer if they had handicapp access he said no and told us they had one down the road. Which was your place. It was hot humid and the walk was long way too good to pull the wagon on to the beach when your handicapp. Yall need to think about getting handicapp access. I'm going to contact the handicapp association. I spend good money down here only to find out I can't get back down to the beach. Please fix...
