Ponce Inlet

This is the southern shoreline of Ponce Inlet just north of New Smyrna Beach.  This is my favorite place to go walking.  There is a raised boardwalk from Smyrna Dunes park that leads to a number of access points to the beach and the inlet.  Parts of this park are dog friendly as well.  There is an egret wandering the shoreline but I was more interested in the colors of the beach and the water.  This spot is a great one for seeing dolphins, ospreys, snowy egrets and a variety of small shorebirds.   I highly recommend a visit to New Smyrna Beach, there are some great seafood restaurants and an interesting little old downtown shopping area.
