It's amazing just waking around and watching the dogs! There's also a beautiful path along the water with many other critters. The people watching is prime too 😁
The beach & park area as a whole was a beautiful park. The paths & picnic areas were clean & appeared to be well maintained. The dog beach seemed smaller & more quaint than the other dog beaches in the area; this was what appealed most to us. The fenced area was about a 25’ stretch beach. It was clean, the pups playing seemed to be happy. The downside of this was that we came in with our dog she was greeted by another pit bull and his owner. Our dog sniffed & gave a playful bark (tail wagging) & immediately the owner said that his dog would attack ours if he needs to. This wasn’t not the only uncourteous interaction we had, even after we moved as far north in the fenced area as was possible so that our pup wouldn’t distract the others. Overall, I really liked then size and cleanliness of the park. I wouldn’t recommend this park for any pups with high anxiety, recovering/rehabbing from surgeries, or that aren’t 100% with all other animals & people. Hope you find this helpful.
Even if your dog is up-to-date with the vaccines and checks, you still have to pay $200 for a non-resident permit. Unfortunately, they do not provide daily permits and we drove the miles to the beach for no reason without even an opportunity of getting one the same day. It definitely sucks.
My dog’s favorite place in the world! Beautiful, large beach for dogs to run, play and swim.
So fun to come here and lets the pups run free.
