Want a great cottage or cabin for a small group? Gulf State Park’s two miles of beaches greet you with plenty of white sun-kissed sand, surging surf, seagulls and seashells, but there is more than sand and surf to sink your toes into. Inside Gulf State Park there is a new beach pavilion, rental cottages, tennis courts, campsites, hiking trails, and a fishing pier that is 20-feet wide and extends 1,512 feet into the Gulf.
