A winter paradise: Florida's Gulf Islands National Seashore

The National Park Service News service features Gulf Islands National Seashore in its latest release.

The park is welcoming visitors again after being threatened by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

This is the best time to visit as the hot, humid weather between June and September softens to a comfortable warmth.

National Park Service Ranger-led tours include barrier islands, local birds, and the forts found at Gulf Islands that represent colonization by the Spanish, and events from the Civil War and World War II.

The park also boasts sugar-white beaches, marshes full of wildlife, and hiking and biking trails winding through saw tooth palmettos and live oaks. Snorkeling also opens up a world of marine life in the Gulf's blue-green waters.
