About
Big Lagoon State Park is a public beach access point in Florida, about 6 miles from Perdido Beach, Alabama. It's a simple stop for a day at the sand, with restrooms and parking on site. A fee is charged, and dogs are allowed, so it works for visitors with pets. Spring and fall bring the mildest weather. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 75°F and October highs near 79°F, while July and August average highs near 89°F with the most wet days of the year. For more time on the ground, Fort Pickens Campground's Loop D is about 9 miles away, and the Cycle Path is roughly 8 miles off. Fort Pickens Campground also has Loop B and Loop C, each about 9 miles from the park.
