The park is situated directly on the segment of Highway A1A officially renamed in honor of Jimmy Buffett in 2024.
The location provides one of the few designated public beach access points in the unincorporated South Patrick Shores area.
The dune vegetation at this site is protected to prevent erosion and stabilize the coastline against storm surges.
The park is located on a barrier island, meaning it is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Banana River Lagoon to the west.
Seagull Park is a community recreational space located on the barrier island between the Banana River and the Atlantic Ocean in South Patrick Shores. The park occupies a narrow strip of land along the A1A, officially known as the Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway. It features direct beach access via a wooden boardwalk that traverses the dune system. Recreational amenities include a playground, picnic tables, and charcoal grills for visitor use. The park serves as a primary access point for the local beach, characterized by its wide sandy shoreline and typical East Central Florida surf conditions. It is managed by Brevard County Parks and Recreation.

Bring a portable cart for beach gear, as the boardwalk access involves a walk from the parking area to the sand.
Check the local red tide or water quality reports on the Brevard County government website before swimming.
Arrive early on weekends to secure a spot, as parking capacity is limited.
Do not attempt to park on the shoulder of the A1A if the lot is full, as this is prohibited and subject to towing.
Pack out all trash to protect coastal wildlife; stay on marked boardwalks to avoid trampling protected sea oats.
