Walking distance from the Airbnb! Huge selection of tap beer and some of the best burgers in the area. Music can be a little loud in the evenings, but is 100% worth dealing with for the food. Favorites include the Tijuana Peso Girl (burger) with an egg on it, Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, and the onion rings--come fried in a delightful batter.

For the Dogs (Also for Outdoor Adventures without Dogs!)
List provides some options to go out and explore with your furry best friend.
Some safety and local tidbits:
1) Some of our river shorelines have oyster beds that can cut dog paws. Always check that the area is sandy and safe before letting your dog run into the water. Our direct ocean shorelines are all sandy sandy sandy, so generally fine.
2) Fresher waters (more inland or closer to streams and springs) will have a higher chance of alligator presence. These living dinosaurs are generally docile, but please monitor your pet. The Halifax river near the Airbnb and south towards the inlet (where the river meets the ocean) is brackish, strong salt presence, and it is VERY, VERY rare to see an alligator in these waters.
3) Our coasts and shorelines have protected and vulnerable plants and animals. Please keep an eye on your pet near wildlife, stay off of the ocean sand dunes with vegetation, and watch out for our turtle nests!
We hope this helps with keeping your pups healthy, as well as protecting our natural systems while you enjoy the area!
Beautiful scenery for you, as well as sandy estuary shorelines for your pup to play! The park has a toll to enter. However, there is also free parking prior to the park entrance and the walk in is manageable. The inlet area is worth the trip and is a prime location to see some of our resident marine life!

Closest direct Atlantic Ocean dog-friendly beach--but only one small portion, so be careful where you take your pooch!
Helpful directions for dog-friendly portion--the closest actual address to help you started is the Ocean Beach One Club at 3500 S Ocean Shore Blvd, Flagler Beach. The dog-friendly beach can be accessed via a small parking lot slightly NORTH of that address and ACROSS from the water tower. The dog friendly beach extends south from the beach access walkway.

Free and the closest waterway and/or grassy river shores for you and your pooch to visit! Almost any shoreline among the Halifax River is dog-friendly! Check out the boat ramps near the bridges, as they will have more space to take the pup out. Also watch for public parks and docks. There is a public park and dock right near the Airbnb, west on University Ave.

Visit the beachside community thriving on Flagler Ave. in New Smyrna Beach. This location is South of Daytona Beach and not to be confused with the actual Flagler Beach, North of the Airbnb. The New Smyrna Beach area is approximately forty minutes from the Airbnb.

Highly recommend a trip to old St. Augustine if possible during your stay! This historic district of the United State's oldest established Spanish city has something for everyone. Parking can be a tizzy! Wear comfortable shoes and take yourself on a tour of this beautiful area. The historic district has tons of shops, eateries, historic sites, a pirate museum, a winery, and borders one of our lovely waterways. Book a sunset tour on one of the sailboats or just enjoy the rich history and culture of the area!
