Titusville - Smyrna Dunes Park

 

That's the Ponce de Leon lighthouse in the distance

We drove north to Smyrna Dunes Park for the day. It's a county park that's very popular with dog owners and those who want to spend a day at the beach. It's on the south side of the Ponce de Leon inlet, we visited the north side last week to see the lighthouse. 

Run and splash in the water - I don't think so, not for Hoolie

The northside was free unless you wanted to climb the lighthouse but the south side in the Smyrna Dunes Park cost $10/car. The area is very dog friendly and they have a trail leading to the inlet beach where dogs can cavort in the water. Personally, I wouldn't let Hoolie loose for that since what do you do with a wet dog? Conveniently, they have a dog wash area when returning to the parking lot that was seeing a lot of use. 

Haaa, cool at last - time for a treat!

So we walked out and back, very hot on a sunny day, Hoolie was panting. The park had a pavilion that allowed dogs and we sat inside, in the shade, and ate lunch. Hoolie rested with his belly against the cool concrete floor, must have felt good I suppose. It was a nice park, especially for dogs.
