Does Scotty whine, cry and stop eating while you are gone? Does Fluffy get depressed enough to have to see a kitty shrink when you return? Does the thought of the last time you left your pet at home leave you with the postpartum vacation blues?

If your idea of a fun vacation is one that includes the family pet, look no further than New Smyrna Beach!

Smyrna Dunes Park - Pet Friendly Beach
Enjoy our beautiful Volusia County park on 73 pristine acres located on the northern tip of the New Smyrna Beach peninsula where man's best friend may enjoy the amenities along with you. Enjoy over 2 miles of boardwalk with views of the Indian River, Ponce Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. A great view of the lighthouse while walking. Meet other dog lovers and see a wide variety of animals, birds, reptiles, marine life and vegetation in their natural habitat. Note: pets must be leashed at all times.

Admission: $5.00 per vehicle.
