Bear Point Sanctuary

The location of the last recorded Native American Black Bear hunt on Hutchinson Island, this wetland preserve encompasses more than 13 acres and features a one-mile trail, an elevated observation platform, two covered picnic tables, and one 450-foot fishing pier. This site is also part of the State of Florida’s “Great Florida Birding Trail” offering birders some magnificent views of local and migratory birds. The preserve is lined with several small wooden docks and natural banks that make it a great spot to catch blue crabs during the summer.
