Such a beautiful beach to take your furbabies. My 2 little guys had the best day and had no other dogs rush up to them.

What a beautiful beach! My dog loved it and it’s such a long beach that you don’t feel as though it’s busy even if there’s a few people there. There’s a car park there which is quite small but a lot of street parking around if needed. The walk to the beach is really nice and different pathways towards the beach. Would highly recommend if you’re going to take your dog there. Hardly any rubbish on the beach as well. Would recommend going in the evening to see the sunset.

Stopped over on our drive to our destination. A very lovely beach with many locals walking dogs. I could see that that the beach is famous with dog owners as we spotted happy dogs of all shapes and sizes. It was mid-day, clear sky, fresh wind and lovely ocean made my day. Definitely worth visiting with family and dogs.

One of my favourite beaches to go for walks. Much less foot traffic so is peaceful than the others. Has some great eateries near by. Always good to go for a snack after a nice evening walk.
