The parking lot is situated right by the Smyrna Dunes Park Welcome Center. There you will find public restrooms and you might want to make a pit-stop before you begin your walk because your only other option is the port-a-potty once you arrive at the beach.
The Welcome Center features an interesting display of wildlife and reptiles that have been found in the area over the years. Be sure to snap a photo or two by the majestic tree that welcomes you at the entrance of the nature trail.
You'll take a leisurely stroll down the walkway to the beach. There are over two miles of scenic walkway, and 250 acres to explore and an abundance of wildlife, reptiles, birds and vegetation. Make sure that your camera batteries are fresh and wear suitable walking shoes.
Fishing is allowed throughout Smyrna Dunes Park and all saltwater fishing regulations apply. You're allowed to swim, but take note there are no lifeguards on duty. The dunes are protected, so stay on the walkways at all times and never remove anything from the park.
Smyrna Dunes is a place where you can get away from the hustle bustle of the more populated beaches. Oftentimes, you won't find more than a handful of people there at one time. You'll love the soft white sand, the jetty, the solitude and the peace and quiet. Plan on spending the day exploring the wonders of Mother Nature presented at Smyrna Dunes.
