Pet Friendly Cocoa Plum Beach – Marathon, Florida

Feb 18, 2015   Weather Report … Three nights ago we had the heat on in the RV. Two nights ago  no heat,  but windows closed.  Last night we had air conditioning on all night.  Tonight we have the heat back on. This is the craziest February weather I’ve ever experienced in The Keys.  Last night we had a storm come through with torrential downpours. This morning we had a brief bit of sun pop through the clouds.  The rest of the day was dark clouds and wind.  Good thing I brought my winter coat, rain coat, windbreaker and sweatshirts!

This morning we took E T to Cocoa Plum Beach.  One of the Rangers here at Curry Hammock has a dog and gave us a list of dog friendly places,  including a couple of restaurants.  I loved the Rangers descriptions  … Burdines Restaurant has the best french fries.   Sparky’s Landing has a great Happy Hour.  Florida Park Rangers know a lot about all kinds of things 🙂

E T was a happy beach comber today.  It was low tide when we got there and she was a lot braver in the water than at Jekyll Island.  The water is a lot warmer here than there, that helps.  She met a couple of friends and I’m sure she would have been swimming with them if we could have let her off leash.  She still has some “wild puppy oats” to shed before we can trust her off leash.

Our friends Gerry and Lenny from northern Florida  came to visit for a couple of days.  Hopefully the weather will warm up a bit.  We went to one of the local restaurants, The Wreck,  for dinner.  The company was better than the service and food, but it’s The Keys in February.   If you’re in a hurry you better head to the Mainland and find a McDonalds.

Crappy weather and all it was another good day.
