Dog friendly, mainly big dogs. Definitely not suitable for reactive dogs. Beautiful sandy beach. Some parking too.

Perfect place to watch the sunrise with your dog! Long stretch of sand so even when there’s lots of people and their dogs, doesn’t feel crowded. Easy parking.

Excellent idea to dedicated dog area. Dogs were so happy to roam and socialise. For adults - long stretches of walks and some good shore fishing spots.
