Guide
Good to know
Visit only if your dog is social
This is designed for dogs that enjoy playing off-leash with other dogs, not a calm spot for solitary swimming.
Some shade is available
Visitors mention trees, cliffs or umbrellas to get out of the sun.Mentioned by 4 visitors · 2014–2026
Bring a dog with strong recall
The beach area is completely unfenced and opens directly into the park, so dogs can easily wander off.
Arrive early on summer weekends
The space is very small and gets crowded, which can lead to larger dogs overwhelming smaller ones.
Check water quality before swimming
Multiple dogs have developed infections after swimming, and reviewers report the water sometimes looks murky or algae-filled.
