St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve Visitor Center

Quiet and peaceful with some breathtaking views. Picnic tables if you wanted to bring a lunch. We didn't go inside the building or use any facilities. Just stopped to look at the bay.

Nice place to visit and study some wildlife. Grill available and picnic tables. Simple two story platform with binoculars for viewing.

The preserve is pristine clean and gorgeous views of water and nature. Very well taken care of and very friendly and knowledgeable of area and plants and animals. A great place to stop and take photos and learn about what is out there. I loved getting to see the dolphin skull and turtle skulls and all the feathers.

Nice information center. Has a tower with a beautiful view. Has a short trail on the bay side with many other trails accessible across the street and around the area.

Great place to stop with the kids. Cool off in the visitor center then take a little walk on the path. Big enough to stretch your legs but not too big. Interesting displays in the visitor center.

This place is great, had a great time. Beach is nice and clean and great fishing and snorkeling. The showers and bathrooms were clean.

What an amazing place! I'm glad that areas like this are protected for everyone to enjoy, wildlife and plants included.

We kayaked around Pig Island and saw all sorts of cool marine life - sponges, crabs, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs, cranes, etc. My dad even saw some rays when he went deeper into the bay later in the week.

Speaking of the water depth, be careful on the south side of the island at low tide. You'll want to stay far out to avoid having to get out and walk like I did.
