Surf: General: Go south from Fernandina a few miles, and you'll see Little Talbot Island State Park just off A1A (904-251-2320). Five bucks a car ($4 if you're alone) will get you into this secluded state park with various sandbars spread out over a mile of beach. Best on a good, clean groundswell, Talbot amplifies everything: size, power and barrel. It's a little sharkier than most spots, but your biggest hazard may be the local crew, who carries a greater percentage of North Siders than Fernandina. It works well on a low to incoming tide, but don't bother if it's choppy. Tides: Low to incoming Size: Thigh-2x overhead Wind: W Swell: Anything, as long as it's clean Bottom: Sand Paddling: Not too bad but can be challenging when the surf is bigger. Spot Rating: It's a trek to reach this island. Gets good and when it is on expect a crowd. Not a beginner level spots when firing, but okay for newer surfers when smaller. Access: Easy to park. Crowds: Crowd Factor: When everyone knows, everyone goes. Local Vibe: More mellow than it has been in the past. Just mind your p's and q's. Environment: Clean water for the most part. Hazards: Sharks and North Siders. Season: Fall-Spring, Hurricane
