The fishing trail at Gulf Islands National Seashore is just as popular for hiking as it is fishing. The trail goes in and out and the trees as it follows along the shores of Santa Rosa Sound. You can walk down to the beaches from the trail, and you pass a few piers and cross a few boardwalks along the course of the trail.

There is a trail map posted at the trailhead for the trails at Gulf Island National Seashore. The trails are pretty well-marked and well-kept. There are a few trails that offer lookouts over the bay so keep your eyes peeled as you hike.
