Big lagoon state park

Do not visit the museum on a day when there is a Blue Angeles practice session. I made that mistake. I had to park way off from the museum and the parking lot guys told me there were usually 10K to 12K people to show up for a practice session, and they all crowd into the museum when it is over. Next trip a couple of weeks later, I visited on a "off" day and the place was quiet and I spent most of the day looking the museum over. I did get to watch the practice session on that second trip while standing on top of the observation platform at Battery Worth, out at Ft Pickens, Great view at above treetop level.

There is a rather tall observation tower at Big Lagoon that might be a good place to view the practice also.
