Jungle Hut Park

Jungle Hut Park is an excellent beach choice for nearby Flagler residents and tourists.
The two-acre park hosts an abundance of amenities, such as beach access, bathrooms,
showers, and parking. Jungle Hut Park is also dog-friendly!
,
Peruse the sand dunes and search for local wildlife that puts Jungle Hut Park on the map.
Ruby-throated hummingbirds usually stop to smell (and pollinate) the flowers during summer
while the unusual gannet stops in for the winter. Throughout the year, you can spot plenty of
seabirds and rock-dwelling sealife.
Jungle Hut Park is perfect for relaxing, bird-watching, and throwing a stick for Fido, but
this beach is not suggested for swimming. Rocks in the surf make this location subject to strong
undercurrents dangerous to swimmers. We suggest instead a lovely picnic with a pair
of binoculars. Happy birding!
