Description In 2002 St. Joseph Peninsula State Park was named # 1 beach in the nation by Dr. Beach. Once rated number one it will not be rated again but remains on the list of top rated beaches. The park offers 10 miles of white sandy beaches and some of the tallest sand dunes in the state. Swimming, fishing, shelling, snorkeling and just relaxing on the beach are the most popular activities. Sea turtle and shore birds nest on the beach in summer months. Please stay off the dunes and do not disturb sea turtle nest or enter shore bird nesting areas. Every year we camp at St. Josephs peninsula in Florida. A beautiful Sunset every day.
