About Mashes Sands

Mashes Sands is a quiet beach in Wakulla County, Florida, set among saltwater marshes. Visitors come to fish, see wildlife, and watch the sun go down. The beach has few facilities, though a mobile restroom is on site. A nearby boat ramp gives access to Ochlockonee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The fishing pier was destroyed by Hurricane Michael and remained closed while under reconstruction, with funding recently secured to rebuild it.
