Smyrna Dunes Park

A dune park on the south bank of Ponce Inlet. Nearly 3 km of elevated boardwalk circles the dunes, offering views of the sea, the lagoon, dolphins and waterbirds.

The park is at the north end of New Smyrna Beach, just south of the inlet mouth. It is known for an elevated boardwalk of nearly 3 km that encircles the entire dune system. Observation pavilions along the way overlook the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse across the water, the Atlantic and the Indian River Lagoon. Dolphins, manatees and various shorebirds are common. The park has a dog-friendly beach, and the jetty on the north bank of the inlet is a fishing spot. The vehicle fee is about $10.
