The park is known for its natural beauty and is home to the Big Tree, a centuries-old live oak that reflects the area's history and ecology. The coastal environment supports a diverse range of wildlife, making it a notable destination for nature enthusiasts. At Goose Island State Park, visitors can engage in various activities such as camping, fishing from the pier, hiking, paddling, and birdwatching.
