But a retriever-sized dog cannot swim in the pool on the large dog side. It's about six inches longer than my Golden Retriever. He loves to sit in it and bat a tennis ball.
The Bark Central dog park in Inverness mentioned above, about a 40-minute drive, has a man-made pond and is fenced in, so they've never see an alligator on the grounds. It's $10 a visit or $30/month for a subscription. Still, the pond is not deep or long enough for retriever-type swimming. It's filtered, and there are dog wash facilities (free for the outside hose; pay for the inside tub wash).
There's Flagler Beach on the ocean side (about 1.5 hours), but dogs must be on a leash. We take a very long line so ours can actually swim.
Then there's Venice Beach on the gulf side. They have an off-leash dog beach attached to a fantastic dog park. That's the best I've found down here, but it's too far away for a day trip.
