Perfect dog beach but you have to know...
Smyrna Dunes Park1) it is a LONG walk to the beach from the parking lot. 2) Dogs are NOT allowed on the boardwalk. 3) Better to visit early in the morning or after 5pm. 4) In summer the park is PACKED. Expect to wait in a car line. 5) Better to visit the beach in spring or fall and even better is winter because there is hardly anyone there then. 6) There is a nesting Eagle family that on rare occasions you can see. 7) LEAVE THE TURTLES ALONE. 8) Keep dogs on a leash (unless no one is around) 9) Bring your dog water (and yourself) and a bowl to drink it in. 10) there are 2 places to wash your dog off after a day in the sea water. 11) clean up after your dog there are bag dispensers and garbage cans all over the park..... It is a clean beach and the people are really nice. But be respectful not all dogs there are eager to meet yours..... Just remember Smyrna is the shark bite capitol.... Be aware of the jellyfish to. The dog beach is in the intercostal, not the part of the beach with the big waves. You can also go across the waterway to Daytona side, they are beach friendly to..

Dirty beach, trash everywhere.
East BeachUse the free parking side next to the paid, arrive early or later. Mid day is very crowded. The beach is dirty. There is trash and garbage everywhere. Drunk people everywhere. The water is murky but you can walk far out and its only thigh or waist deep. My dog had a bad reaction to the salt water and broke out in hives. I was not impressed, but it is far better here than down the road at Stewart beach which is disgusting.....
