This waterfront park in Horseshoe Beach serves as Dixie County's boat launch and camping spot on the Gulf. Visitors come to eat a meal, fish the scallop shallows, watch the sun go down, and stay overnight in campsites. The park's west-facing outlook is a major draw. The town's parks page points visitors to Visit Dixie for details on the county's other parks.
