    You Can cross the inlet to get to the beach but you can also9 walk to the left about 1/2 mile to avoid crossing it. Be sure to see all the nesting and visiting shorebirds!

    Stand up paddleboarding is a great way to see the inlet & all the beautiful wildlife! Check the tides before you go, we got caught at low tide, had to board out into the gulf & carry the boards back!

    Park at the far end of the parking lot and make a left at the end of the ramp. Walk about a quarter of a mile and there is the biggest white sandy beach I've ever seen.

    Prepare 8 usd for parking fee if you don't have beach park sticker, and park in the additional parking area if you want to easier / closer access walk to the beach..

    $8 to park but that allows you to return later in the day for a great sunset

    Been here 5+ times
    Tigertail is not on the gulf side. Tigertail is the beach immediately after crossing the bridges from the parking lot.

    A bit of a walk to get to the beach but it's beautiful and long, so never feels too crowded

    Stay to the left on sandy trail, to get to the beach. No squishy mucky water to wade thru.

    Apparently, you have to wade across the waist-chest high lagoon to get to Tigertail Beach but the water was so mucky that we didn't bother. We just watched the birds & fish for a bit & left.

    Come to a unique estuary beach area. Bring your stamina it is a distance to the water walking, but worth the exerience.

    Go when the tide is out in the morning, don't go at dusk, you will get eaten alive!
