The shores and coastal waters at Fort Pierce Inlet State Park provide an abundance of recreational opportunities. The breathtakingly beautiful half-mile beach welcomes visitors for swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and scuba diving. Beachcombing, picnicking or just relaxing on the sand are also popular activities. Dynamite Point was once the training site for WWII Navy Frogmen, but is now a haven for bird-watchers. Along the south end of the park, Fort Pierce Inlet is a popular place for anglers to catch their dinners. Jack Island Preserve, located one mile north of the park, has trails for hiking, bicycling and nature study. At the west end of the Marsh Rabbit Run Trail, visitors can climb an observation tower for a bird’s-eye-view of the Indian River and the island.
