Have taken cockapoo puppy here on a few different occasions, and each time has been enjoyable. There are plenty of parking spaces, a handy tap for washing sand off and refilling water bowl. And it's not just the beach areas we can enjoy, but lots of grassy areas behind the beach too. I like the friendly vibe here.

Excellent dog beach with views of the city on a clear day. Plenty of easy parking, and also seems to be a popular fishing spot.

So fun! We take our furbabies to play with their dog friends here and they LOVE it! Both have become super confident with swimming as well. There's a border collie meet up the first Sunday of the month (8am in summer, 9am in winter).

If you have a dog, you and your best friend will enjoy it. If you don't have a dog... DON'T GO! The place is filthy and full of dog poo and seaweed washed off the shore. I recommend going next door. The beach next door is nicer and more suitable for people with no dogs.
