Smyrna Dunes Park is a 73-acre protected area located at the northern tip of the New Smyrna Beach peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides. As the Indian River flows through Ponce Inlet into the Atlantic Ocean, it creates a unique mix of different ecosystems: Ocean, dunes, river, saltwater marsh, and scrub zone. Two miles of raised walkways have been created to protect the rich plant and animal life that makes this park its home. There are also picnic areas, an observation tower, and pavilions. Hiking through the park is very popular with nature lovers, and they can bring their dogs to enjoy nature as long as they are on the leash.
