Gulf Islands National Seashore is the largest national park in the United States containing a seashore. Sparkling emerald waters; snow-white crystalline sand; barrier islands; salt marshes; forest of Live Oaks, pines and magnolias; historic structures; archeological sites; and a diverse array of wildlife – all of this can be found at the Gulf Island national Seashore. GINS located in Perdido Key is also home to Johnson’s Beach named after Army Private Rosamond Johnson, Jr who was the first Escambia County resident to die in the Korean War on July 26, 1950. After the Korean Conflict the county-owned recreational area was renamed to honor its fallen hero. The area became part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore May 8, 1973.
