Dog walking in Palm Coast

Marineland

This neighborhood on the eastern side of town is made up of a marina and beachside community. Like most of the beaches in Palm Coast, the Jungle Hut Road Park Beach is pet-friendly, with nature trails that extend over the trails and marsh areas of the park, water access and bird watching activities available. Fido will have to remain on a leash thoughout, and you'll have to remember to bring water and clean-up bags. The Hammock Park is inland, featuring a large green area with paved walkways, a basketball court, and playground for leashed pups. There's also access to water fountains, benches, and nighttime lights.Keep reading
