Naturally, I seek dog f riendly areas when planning an outing. This dog f riendly beach hit the very top of my list.
My criteria f or this choice was close parking proximity to the beach since we were going to set up a tent and
welcome the summer in style.
We took the chance of arriving around 11:00 am. A little late f or a busy holiday weekend, but nonetheless we
spun the dice. Immediately through the gate we were told that parking was almost to capacity. Our plan was to
drive up close and of f load then park. As luck would have it as we spun around the parking lot closest to the
beach a spot was open. We should have played the lotto.
There are shower and bathroom f acilities. Although, each men and women bathroom is single occupancy which
create long lines. But it is a perf ect place to engage in conversations. Showers are outdoor.
Around the restroom f acility are several picnic benches and grills. Next to the shower and along the beach are
more grills and benches. These are on f irst come, f irst served basis. On the beach there is a larger picnic tent
available by reservations only.
Dogs are allowed everywhere as long as they are on a leash, even in the water. Jet ski rentals and boat rides

2. are available on the beach.
The beach is a mixture of sand and rocks. There are patches of nice sof t sand and sharp rocks. Several coves
and secluded areas lend to privacy. It is easy to stake claim to an entire section of the beach.
What better way to start of f the summer f rolicking in the water with f riends, f amily and our f our legged
companions.
