This 52-acre county park is named for Florida U.S. Senator Claude Pepper. Snorkeling and diving are popular activities, and the area is near the Urca de Lima preserve in the Atlantic Ocean. The underwater archaeological preserve was created in the 1980s to provide the public with access to the remains of the 1715 Treasure Fleet ship. The park is bordered by Avalon State Park to the north and Fort Pierce Inlet state park to the south. Lifeguards are on duty. Onsite amenities include sports fields, picnic tables, restrooms, playground and pavilions with grills. For more information about use/rentals, please call 772-462-2110.
