Eden Gardens State Park is a 163 acres Florida State Park and historic site located in Point Washington, south of Freeport, Fla., off U.S. 98 on CR 395, in northwestern Florida at 181 Eden Gardens Road in Santa Rosa Beach. This park is centered on the Wesley house, a two-story mansion virtually surrounded by white columns and verandas.

The site has various gardens, numerous large, old southern live oak trees, and frontage on Tucker Bayou.

The park's amenities include a historic 1897 house filled with antiques where tours are given from 10:00 am through 3:00 p.m. on the hour, every hour, Thursday through Monday . There are ornamental gardens with heritage roses, camellias, azaleas, as well as a butterfly garden and a reflection pond filled with water lilies and large koi. For those that like the more natural look, there are nature trails as well as picnic areas and a fishing dock.
