Fort Zachary Taylor is amazing, cheap, has onsite parking, and there's something for everyone: Trails, an outdoor cafe, an incredible sand beach with large boulders to climb on, and of course the old Fort itself. I was incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to go on another walkabout, and I'm confident that I picked the right spot. I did not however, choose the right shoes. To enjoy all of Fort Zack, you might want to bring a pair of boots (or at least closed-toed shoes) in addition to your flip-flops. The trails and boulders can be tricky to negotiate in flip-flops, and the hot surfaces are unpleasant if you take off your flip-flops for better traction. Just bring both.
