As soon as you make the entrance to the Gulf Islands National Seashore Fort Pickens Campground, it is easy to imagine what it must have looked like to the Spanish explorer Tristan de Luna in 1559.

Only sand scrub oaks and sea grass protect this little quarter mile wide barrier island - just as they did 450 years ago.
