Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park

Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park is situated on a barrier island along Florida's southwest coast, near Naples. The park is named after the Delnor-Wiggins Pass, which separates the island from the mainland and provides access to both the Cocohatchee River and the Gulf of Mexico. Its distinctive feature is the hard-bottom reef, which supports diverse marine life and offers a unique ecosystem for visitors to explore. Visitors to Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park can enjoy various activities, including swimming, fishing, and shelling along the pristine beaches. The park is also a popular spot for birdwatching, thanks to its rich wildlife. Parking is available, but it may fill up quickly during peak times. The weather can be warm and sunny, so it’s advisable to bring water and sun protection. For those looking to explore the waters, boat access is available. Before visiting, be sure to verify hours, fees, and any closures on the official state site.
