#44 IN THE WORLD

SNOW WHITE SAND AND CRYSTAL CLEAR SEAS

Stretching along Florida's Emerald Coast, Henderson Beach State Park boasts 6,000 feet of pristine white sandy shoreline. While the entirety of the Emerald Coast is known for its stunning beaches, it's the natural surroundings and lack of development that set Henderson Beach apart. This park remains a tranquil haven, offering a quieter alternative to more commercialized beachfronts. The beach's dunes are a highlight, providing habitat for local wildlife and rising dramatically against the backdrop of the Gulf of Mexico's warm, clear waters. This beach is ideal for swimming, peaceful walks, and simply relaxing by the water.
