One of the few beaches that you don't pay for parking. A lot of shells on the beach so wear your flops! Other then that no complaints...I'd go again

The park is dog friendly but the beach is not. The only beach i know of for certain that is dog friendly is all the way at the end of Ponce Inlet. You cross the Dunlawton bridge from Port Orange turn right on A1A and go til you can go no more. I lived there and brought my dog several times.

There are two large parking lots and although there are no RV hookups I believe you could easily park there throughout the day without anybody hassling you.
