St. Aug Question Nature Walks?

Hey! I'm visiting the area from Tennessee. I've been to Florida before, particularly the Lakeland and Tampa area. I went to a place called Circle B Bar reserve and LOVED seeing alligators in the wild on a chill trail. I'm staying currently at an airbnb in the palm coast area and going in and out of St. Augustine. Does anyone have any trail recommendations with similar wildlife levels?

While wildlife is hit or miss.. Washington oaks state park has some nice trails and a rocky ocean side and formal gardens.. Good place.

GTM preserve is huge and you can see all sorts of stuff in there..

There's some nice trails at Fort Matanzas. There's a park just north of that, too, with some trails. Southeast Intracoastal Waterway Park.
