Francis Bay is one of the quieter areas of the park and is a great place to view turtles, go for long swims, snorkel along the rock shoreline at the north end of the beach. A board walk provides access to some great birding opportunities along the salt pond located behind the beach. Visitors can also take the trail up to the remains of a "Great House" and the Francis Sugar Factory.
