Smyrna Dunes Park is a 184-acre inlet park located along the southern shoreline of Ponce de Leon Inlet. The park has over 2 miles of wide, elevated, handicapped-accessible boardwalk capped with recycled lumber that is both comfortable and durable.  Multiple scenic overlooks allow breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian River and Ponce de Leon Inlet.  Special park features include a 300’ handicapped accessible fishing pier and dog-friendly swimming beach areas located along the park river shore.  Restrooms and picnic pavilions are also available at this very popular coastal park.  The park property is jointly owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the State of Florida, Department of Environmental Protection.  Volusia County manages the park under leases it maintains with these federal and state agencies.
