Sharky Beach

Park•Coledale

Confirmed

Park•Coledale

Sharky Beach is a relaxed, off-leash beach where dogs run up and down the sand freely. It's not a big beach, but the atmosphere is easygoing and it rarely feels overcrowded. There's enough space to set up a picnic rug and settle in while your dog does laps. Parking is available nearby. It's a straightforward beach day with minimal fuss.

Clifton Park Fenced Dog Park

Park•Sanctuary Point

Confirmed

Park•Sanctuary Point

Clifton Park has a large, fully fenced off-leash area with established shade trees and rapid-refill water bowls for dogs. There's an agility course that younger dogs seem to enjoy particularly. The park is in a quiet location and rarely feels crowded. One thing to know — it can get quite muddy after rain, especially around the agility equipment. Waste bags are provided.
