Bring your pet to run and play off-leash at Higgs Beach Dog Park, which includes a separate area for small pets, grassy open spaces, shade, and benches.
From its clear turquoise waters to its beautiful sandy beaches and its tropical vegetation, Higgs Memorial Beach Park is one of the most inviting public beach parks in Florida because of its diverse array of activities and offerings. Within the Park, you will find a: Civil War Era Fort, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Salute! On the Beach, a lovely beachside café that features a lighter, Caribbean-influenced take on Italian classics – with fresh bread, vegetables, and local seafood and reportedly, the largest African Refugee Burial Ground in this hemisphere as well as one of the largest Aids Memorials in the Country.
Higgs Beach Park is truly unique on many fronts as it hosts the only shore-accessible underwater marine park in the United States and is also the terminus of the Florida Overseas Heritage Trail, one of only 31 nationally designated All American Highways in the United States.
