Point Washington’s location between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico make it an ecologically interesting place. See both dolphins and alligators in the area, and visit the Point Washington State Forest, over 15,000 acres, where wild boars, bears and raccoons make their home in the scrub palm underneath the tall pine trees, and there are over 20 miles of trails for hikers, bikers, and runners. The centerpiece of Point Washington is Eden Gardens State Park. The grounds feature lush botanical gardens, sprawling lawns and breathtaking views of Tucker Bayou and the bay.
