Guide
Good to know
Excellent year-round dog beach
Dogs are allowed off-leash all summer and possibly year-round with clear shallow water for swimming.
Go early on summer weekends
The beach stays quiet before 10:30am, especially on hot mornings.
Visit at low tide
The beach nearly disappears at high tide, so check tide charts before heading.
Bring water shoes
The rocky pebble surface makes barefoot walking uncomfortable without protection.
No facilities or amenities
There are no portable toilets, dog waste stations, drinking water, or shade structures on site.
