Unwind in Nature at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park

Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is a beautiful park in the heart of Fort Lauderdale Beach. It has become a destination in itself, full of different things to do. In 1893, a prominent Chicagoan came to Florida seeking paradise. He found it in 3.5 miles of beachfront land. When he died in 1941, Birch donated the land to the state of Florida so that developers wouldn’t get their hands on it.

Outdoor Activities

This state park is the perfect choice if you want to try kayaking or canoeing for the first time! You can either rent kayaks or join one of the guided kayaking tours here. For an exciting and unique experience, try a full moon kayaking adventure. Since it only takes place once a month, schedule around this nighttime adventure! If you cannot work around the moon, there is a sunset kayaking tour every Friday. You can rent canoes or kayaks here for either two hours or a half day.

For those who want something to get the adrenaline pumping, try out the jet skis they have available to rent.

Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is also a great place to bicycle, rollerblade, birch watch, or sit outside and read a book under the shade of a palm tree. This park is a local favorite, and you will often find visitors getting some much-needed R&R on the weekends.

Great On-Site Restaurant

Hugh Taylor Birch State Park’s Park and Ocean restaurant is a great destination to grab a beer and eat something delicious! Salty sea air can bring out an appetite! With oceanfront views and its own on-site brewery, Park and Ocean is an excellent spot to unwind, grab a beer, and dine. They also have live music to enjoy on the weekends.
