Picayune Strand: The Forest Near the Sea

Picayune Strand - Marco Island Homes for Sale

Marco Island and the surrounding coastline are best known for such things as surf, sand and ocean sunsets. However, sometimes area residents prefer to spend a day enjoying the shade of beautifully towering oak or cypress trees, or perhaps an easy hike for breathtaking wildlife viewing opportunities.

Fortunately, Picayune Strand State Forest is less than an hour’s drive from your Marco Island home, and it makes a fabulous day or weekend trip.

Recreation in Picayune Strand State Forest

The Sabal Palm Hiking Trail is a 3.2-mile trail affording hikers an opportunity to view majestic 100-year-old cypress trees and several species of native wildlife.

Patient birders are usually able to spy multiple species of woodpeckers, wood storks and several other species of seasonal avian visitors. Cyclists have miles of forest roads and trails to explore, as well.

Equestrians can enjoy the 22-mile Belle Meade Tract*, which includes 10 paddocks and a primitive equestrian camping area.

The best part is that your canine pals can come along for the trip (if they’re not already booked for a playdate at Marco Island’s best dog park). Your four-legged friend must stay on-leash during your visit, but the entire area is extremely dog-friendly – just remember to leave only footprints.

Hunting and Camping in the Most Beautiful Forest Near the Sea

Backpacking is a favorite weekend activity within Picayune Strand, and campsites are available throughout the forest. Seasonal hunting is permitted in the wildlife management area and is regulated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

*It’s important to note that all horses in the forest must have current negative Coggins test results. For everyone’s health and safety, riders are required to carry proof of test results at all times.
