Bring LOTS Of Bug Spray!

While our dogs enjoyed splashing in the water (on leashes) the walk to and from, and any area not directly along the water line, was highly infested with mosquitos. I live near a conservation area in Florida and we have no where near as many. We stopped here on the way back from a camping trip, and even max strength OFF wasn’t working. We have bug spray for the dogs as well that works perfectly at home and while we were camping, even in summer, and the mosquitos were still eating the dogs alive. Such a bummer after driving out of our way to go here for the afternoon. We stayed for about 45 minutes before giving up and sprinting the entire path back to the car.

Positives were there, including a wonderful pavilion with a gift shop, very clean restrooms, and respectful people all around who kept their dogs on a leash. While we didn’t go onto the regular beach because they don’t allow dogs, the sand looked clean and soft, just as it was on the dog beach portion. I may give it another chance without the dogs, but will never bring the dogs back here.
