If you are driving along Florida’s Treasure Coast with your dog, you will have a hard time finding a beach where you can let your pooch run freely. The only dog-friendly beach in St. Lucie County is Walton Rocks Dog Beach, right on the Atlantic Ocean. The beach is huge – 24 acres of fine sand – a heaven for dogs and their owners. There are a few picnic benches and tables as well as water and restrooms. The dunes along the beach are a habitat for delicate plant life and should not be disturbed; dogs and their owners should respect the signs to stay off the dunes. The owners should also make sure they clean up after their dog and leave the beach as beautiful and clean as they found it.
