Good to know
- Two areas: a fenced dry dog park (grass) and the fenced sandy dog beach where dogs actually go in the bay.
- Florida heat is intense — go early or near dusk, bring fresh drinking water, watch for hot sand, and rinse your dog after the saltwater swim.
- It’s a tidal bay beach — conditions shift with the tide, water can get murky, and there are oysters/shells underfoot.
