Dutton Island Preserves are really two parks — Dutton Island I (Dutton Island Preserve) and Dutton Island II (Dutton Island Expansion Park and Preserve). The preserves are located in a pristine salt marsh ecosystem that offers visitors exceptional wildlife viewing. Tranquility awaits visitors along the three miles of hiking trails through pine flatwoods and live oak hammocks.

Dutton Island I

Dutton Island I includes a marsh observation viewing deck and fishing pier on the north end and a kayak and canoe launch site on the south end. There is a marked kayak trail among the salt marsh to guide you. There are also hiking trails and boardwalks, a covered picnic area, and restrooms.

Primitive camping is available at Dutton Island I — reservations can only be made online at http://www.coab.us/recpermits.

For more information on this park, including possible closures or changes to rentals and fees, visit City of Atlantic Beach-Dutton Island.

Dutton Island II

Dutton Island II includes hiking trails, several marsh overlooks, two picnic areas, and a kayak landing.
