Fitzgerald Marine Reserve’s main attraction are the tide pools where you can see crabs, sea anemone, starfish, and more. The best time to go is during low tide so you can actually walk around and look for sea creatures. Because this is a protected reserve, nothing can be collected or harmed.  On the far end, take the Bluff Trail to stop a the Seal Overlook and walk underneath cypress trees.  There’s a unique area called Cypress Tree Tunnel where you can take tree framed pictures. At the end of the trail is Seal Cove Beach which is a nice sandy beach area to bathe in the sun.  There’s a nice shady picnic area and flush toilets making this a great picnic spot for families.
