Ancient oceans shaped the physical landscape of this park, allowing a variety of habitats to develop over time. Today, this preserve provides a unique opportunity to experience several different natural communities in a relatively short distance. In less than a mile, visitors can see rare sand pine scrub, scrubby flatwoods, a baygall community and a mangrove swamp. Hikers can explore these natural communities on over 6 miles of trails.

Another great way to experience Seabranch Preserve State Park is via the section of the East Coast Greenway that runs through the park. Accessible from the main parking area, the 1.7-mile paved path is perfect for hiking, biking or just a casual stroll through the park. As you travel along, you will be treated to an up-close view of the ancient sand pine scrub habitat, home to gopher tortoises, scrub jays and bobcats.
