Werner-Boyce Salt Springs Tidal Waterfall
An unusual tidal waterfall formed by the outflow of Salt Spring along the Gulf coast at Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park, visible at low tide just past the spring. It is reached via the roughly 1.6-mile Springs Trail through pine flatwoods and coastal hammock.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Florida State Parks (Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
