Hello all dog families, I had another adventure this past weekend!My mom has this great book called The Dog Lover's Companion to Florida and it is full of great places to go. The new beach we found this time is called Honeymoon Island State Park Beach. It is a dog friendly beach in Dunedin, Florida. It was around 20 miles from Busch Gardens in Tampa. It is $5 per car to get in and the walk from the car to the beach on the path is not far at all. All dogs must be kept on a 6 foot leash at all times. There were three dogs that were let loose there and were causing a ruckus for us rule following dogs, but they did not get away with it long. There are beach patrol around that made the people leash up! There was not much about the beach that we didn't like. On the side of the path to get to the beach where there are free poo-bags for people to use it was clear that there are a few people that did not follow the rules. There were no messes at all that we saw on the beach area though. When we were there we saw a handful of these weird looking things called jellyfish, mom made sure that we didn't get mear those! She said that they are not good for us! I would have tried to play with them you know! The water was the clearest beach water we have ever seen. You could see the bottom and all around you, it was great! Mom got some seashells even! When mom and I were talking to the beach patrol about what the beach is usually like they said that after the last hurricane that went through that way is when the jellyfish started showing up and more stingrays. They said normally there are not so many. We did not see any of the stingrays though, but mom saw what she thought looked like a little crab that scooted away when she walked by it! The beach was so nice there. We saw a bunch of sailboats, jet skiers, and boats there. There are even a couple benches to sit on. Make sure that your pet parents use the bathroom before you go to the beach when you get there since they are up by the parking lot! I am putting some of the photos here for everyone to see! The address of the beach is: 1 Causeway Boulevard
Clearwater, FL 34689
