Special notice: Tropical Storm Ida on November 10th,  2009 caused flooding and sand deposits on sections of the Fort Pickens Road.  Until the sand can be removed and repairs made, visitors can access the Fort Pickens Campground by foot or by private vessel. The Seashore staff regrets the inconvenience.  For more information please call 850-934-2622.
