Driving Directions Map
From I-95 take Exit-173 Malabar Rd SR-514 and go east on Malabar Road about 2 miles. The Sanctuary sign is on the north side of the road just past the Malabar Fire Dept. There is stabilized parking at the trailhead.
From US Hwy 1 take Malabar Road west for 1 mile and look for the Malabar Scrub Sanctuary sign on your right—if you pass the fire station you've gone too far.
