"DESCRIPTION The northern portion of Alys Beach is devoted to a 20-acre nature preserve that provides a quiet and reflective getaway. The trail winds its way through the preserve, with most of it on an elevated wooden boardwalk that gives a great view of the varied habitats below. While on the trail, look for slash pines, cypress trees, open meadows, wiregrass and wildflowers. Be sure to look for the carnivorous pitcher plants - their tubelike leaf structure captures and digests insects, giving the plants added nitrogen in this nutrient-poor environment. Trail Distance: .75 Miles Easy - Flat and Paved Trail Parking Available Wheelchair Accessible Pets Allowed on Leash"
