Juno Dunes Natural Area

Technically that means an astoundingly diverse group of plants and animals to observe. The Oceanfront Tract can be accessed from Loggerhead Park and features a several nature trails, some accessible, and a covered observation deck. Keep a look out for otter, green anole, gopher tortoise, nine-banded armadillo, and eastern cottontail. At the West Tract, climb the observation tower for astounding views of the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. A dizzying array of texture and color awaits with the flowering beauty of the endangered four-petal pawpaw, air plants, pink coral bean, which are aflutter with butterflies and birds. Drinking water and restrooms are only available at nearby Loggerhead Park.
