A beautiful park you must visit in Palm Coast, Florida

Washington Oaks Garden State Park is just a little down the road from St. Augustine in Palm Coast … those of us that live in St. Augustine often call it one of “our” parks because it is so close. If you have never visited, it is a must see!  Located on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Matanzas River, this park has it all … from formal gardens to a maritime hammock with 200-year-old oak trees to coquina rock formations on the beach-side! This park is a great place to hike or take a leisurely stroll, have a picnic, go fishing, enjoy the all-surrounding nature, or just sit and relax! Washington Oaks is a peaceful, serene, and beautiful place. Photographers love this park! On many occasions, I have seen people taking engagement photos.  The park is very easy to get to, as it is located off A1A on Oceanshore Blvd. (just south of Marineland). There is a minimal parking fee, but it is well worth the cost! I love to take photos when I visit the park … here are some of my favorites for you to enjoy!
