"In many place A1A, Florida’s famous coastal highway, is packed with development: condos, vacation rentals, shopping centers, and the like. A beautiful wild stretch south of Jacksonville, then, comes as a terrific surprise. If you’re heading south toward St. Augustine, the ocean is just over some dunes to your left; to the right is the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Estuarine Research Reserve, a 74,000-acre verdant oasis amid the Florida sprawl that teems with wildlife and a number of pretty, well-maintained hiking and biking trails." - Sam Worley
