Not only do they have a multitude of dog parks, small, medium, big, timid and others they have nothing but all-natural old growth trees with pine needles and sand. The place is monstrous no matter which dog park you choose, they all have poop bag dispensers and trash cans available as well as water. From the entry it doesn't look that impressive but once you're inside you realize it's an all day event!! That and your puppy has so many newspaper trees to read. You park right next to the main entry

Took at day trip from our campsite in PCB for a day of exploring and shelling, unfortunately the…read moreshelling was a bust but we did get to experience another one of Florida's beautiful State Parks. I can't stress enough how valuable it is to purchase an annual SP pass, Florida has so many beautiful parks if you are traveling across the state this annual pass will more than pay for itself. Visiting this park during the off season was especially rewarding, no crowds so we practically had the entire beach to ourselves, the white sugar sand and clear warm water was the perfect place to be on a warm fall day. Although shelling was a disappointment the abundance of wildlife and native plants more than made up for it. This is definitely a state park I'd return too, maybe spend a few days here in the RV when in the area...

There were plenty of dogs for my dogs to play with considering it was a week day. The park is a great spot for many niceville locals who have been coming here for years. Both owners and dogs are super friendly. The park consists of two sides, a gated small dog side and then a gated large dog side. I bring both my dogs to the large dog side because my little dog thinks he's a beast! (Napoleon complex). The park is HUGE! There is plenty of space for the dogs to run and there are water bowls located throughout the park. There are several hoses that allow for refilling the water bowls. Several of the regulars bring toys that are for everyone to share! Best part about the park is all the squirrels! My dogs love to chase them for hours....Perfect entertainment for a pup with endless energy. The park has lots of shade for the dogs as well as owners, there are benches and tables located throughout the park. I would definitely recommend this park to anyone who loves dogs and loves to enjoy some Florida sunshine!

Other dogs were well behaved. It wasn't overly crowded (July 206) and our entire group was able to hang out together at the beach for the first time, since typically dogs aren't allowed on beaches we've been to in the past. Highly recommend bringing your dogs here to explore and enjoy the water.

Mum and Dad have been telling me all week about the beach, but I did not really know what to think till today. The sand was white and the water was cold, thanks to dad baptizing me for a surprise dip. After a moment of shock, I did my best Peter impression and walked on water back to the sand. Guessing Dad was unsure if I liked it or not, so he dunked me a couple more times just to be sure. I was a good sport about it, but will have to rethink getting that close to the shore again. I loved running and chasing all the small dogs thru the sand. Wore out a few dogs today, but then again that is what I do. I'm going to ask my parents to bring me back soon, now that I know where the park is. Had a beach of a time and after a long bath , will sleep good tonight.

We will definitely be back!
