Greenhills Beach is a beautiful stretch of sand with a designated off-leash dog area on seasonal hours. From October to April dogs are off-leash from 4pm to 10am, and from May to September from 3pm to 10am, with no dogs on the beach during the middle of the day. Access is at Gate 5, and the open sand makes a fine spot for a run and a swim within the off-leash window. A lovely dog beach around the timed hours.
