Overview
Castaway Island Preserve is located off San Pablo Road, between Beach and Atlantic boulevards, in eastern Duval County. The preserve is along the western shore of the Intracoastal Waterway and is adjacent to an intricate salt marsh ecosystem. Visitors to the preserve will find themselves surrounded by the natural beauty of northeast Florida. They may stroll along the park's nature trails, enjoy a picnic with family and friends at one of several picnic areas, get up close and personal with marshland wildlife from the wooden boardwalk or take in the breathtaking view from the park's observation platform overlooking the waterway. Other amenities include a 3,000 square foot education center, floating canoe/kayak launch and information kiosk.
