  One of the last protected areas east of I95 in South Florida, the Seacrest Scrub Natural Area is just big enough to transport you back to a time before we were here. There's both a concrete sidewalk path as well as beaten footpaths to follow and explore. Definitely a sanctuary and highly recommended.

  This a 54 acre preserve that protects the rare scrub habitat which formed on top of sand dunes when the sea level fell. There aren't very many of these communities left because since they were on high land and dry they were the first to be used for commercial development. There is less than 2 percent of the original scrub habitat left in Palm Beach.
  
  I came to explore the area because it is listed as a site on the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail which is a network of 510 place to view wildlife across the state. Seacrest has a parking lot, bicycle rack, and an educational board. There is a gate to the trails that has a sign urging you to keep it closed to protect the gopher tortoises in the preserve from getting out. There are two trails, a paved nature trail that is .18 miles and a natural earth hiking trail that is 1.15 miles. The hiking trail is where you would need to go to see wildlife.
  
  Seacrest is home to several protected plants and animals such as the gopher tortoise. I was lucky enough to see one at the end of my hike. I also saw a cardinal in a tree. Some of the plants I saw were American Beautyberry, slash pines with their pine cones which were used by settlers for lumber, sand pines, and pokeweed which has purple and black berries that feed wildlife but are poisonous to humans. Seacrest is home to hundreds of species of plants and animals. Some mammals you might see include the Gray Fox, armadillos, Gray Squirrels, and raccoons. Unfortunately the natural area is also home to Golden Orb Spiders also known as Banana Spiders. I have never seen so many in one place. They were everywhere in the trees. If you have arachnophobia stay far away from here.
  
  Except for the spiders I enjoyed my hike here. Since the scrub pine is on top of dunes there was an incline on part of the hike. I will be back to explore more of the area when the weather cools down. Kudos to Palm Beach for saving and protecting this ecologically important area.

  We went there for a morning hike. The 1.15 mile trail turned out to be one nice, relaxing place. We could hear the birds chirping and the continuous noise of cricket, and the smell of the entire area was really good. One of our teammate named the sound as Florida noise. There is a separate trail for the handicapped as well. That trail is paved, unlike the regular hiking trail. We loved our time there thoroughly.
