Perdido Key State Park is not located in the state of Tennessee, but in Florida. It is a beautiful park located on a barrier island with white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters. The park offers many outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, wildlife watching, and camping. Visitors can also explore the park's nature trails and the nearby Gulf Islands National Seashore. There are also several points of interest to see in the area such as the Naval Aviation Museum and the historic Fort Barrancas. Interesting facts about the area include that it is home to endangered species such as the Perdido Key beach mouse and the beach morning glory. The best time to visit is during the spring and fall when temperatures are mild and crowds are smaller.
