Big Lagoon State Park sits beside Big Lagoon, the body of water that separates mainland Florida from the Gulf of Mexico. Its amenities include a small trail network and a notable boardwalk, and it draws visitors and locals just outside Pensacola. The lookout tower at the trail's end overlooks the lagoon and Gulf, with views back toward the boardwalk and Tarklin Bayou State Park to the north. It's an easy, short walk to a rewarding vantage point.
