Langdon Beach is one of the most popular swimming beaches in Gulf Islands National Seashore and among the only ones lifeguarded during the summer months. Its beautiful Gulf of Mexico sands are well worth visiting while you’re soaking up the history, ecology, and scenery on tap in the National Seashore’s Fort Pickens area.
Situated near the western end of Santa Rosa Island roughly in the middle of the National Park Service-managed Fort Pickens unit, Langdon Beach is within shouting distance of the Fort Pickens Campground and its several large loops: the biggest and most popular camping area in Gulf Islands National Seashore. Needless to say, it’s a mighty attractive destination for campers and day visitors alike.
