About
Palm Coast: Atlantic Dr. is a public beach access point on the Florida coast, about 3 miles from the town of Marineland. It's a straightforward spot for getting onto the sand, and dogs are allowed, which makes it a practical choice if you're bringing a four-legged companion along. Spring is the most comfortable time for a beach day here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 78°F with only about seven wet days, while summer brings highs near 88°F and more frequent rain, peaking at around 15 wet days in August. Several other outdoor spots are within easy reach. The Colbert Lane Bike Path lies about 5 miles away, Rattlesnake Island offers a climbing area at roughly 5.4 miles, and the Graham Swamp Conservation Area Trail and Moses Creek Conservation Area Trail sit about 9 and 10 miles off, respectively.
