Guide

Good to know

Bring water shoes for pebble beach
The beach is mostly pebbles and larger stones, with hot surfaces that can burn dogs' paws in summer sun.
Expect industrial backdrop and noise
A cement factory adjoins the beach, creating occasional noise and an unesthetic view that some visitors find detracts.
Arrive before 11am, especially weekends
The beach and parking lot fill significantly from late morning onwards, particularly on busy days.
Avoid May to September fishing season
Fishermen occupy the dog area with dozens of rods during peak months, creating crowding and hook hazards.
Pack bags to clean up after your dog
Trash bins near the water overflow regularly, and irresponsible owners leave excrement throughout the beach entrance.
