SO FAR AWAY, yet only miles to Jacksonville

Spent four days camping at Little Talbot Island SP; a campsite with a view!  A panorama of the marsh with nightly sunsets.  Only a few miles east of Jacksonville, FL you would never know you were near this major city.  All of Little Talbot Island is a state park with miles of virtually untouched beach and bay side with marshes and wildlife.  Parked our RV at the campsite, where looking out the windows you would think you were the only one on the island! 

Lots of great recreational things to keep us moving.  One day we took a 3 hour kayak tour through the marshes.  What a great day with blue skies and temps in the 60s. 

Another day we biked down to Ft. George Island where the Ribault Club and the Kingsley Plantation were toured.  As part of the bike ride, took a detour with the river ferry to Singletons “real” seafood shack.  Another taste test of shrimp po’boys; this time with onion rings.  Great. 

For our final day, after braving near freezing overnight temps, took a 5 mile hike through the dunes and beach.  This Florida state park has over 8 miles of ocean beachfront to explore.
