    Once upon a time

    Used to be that a certain area of the beach was not monitered by the life guards, making it possible to take dogs there and let them run unleashed (although there were supposed to be leashed). Ah well.

    And though you're not supposed to let your dogs free in the grassy area above the beach, many people do.

    confused

    There are signs that say...NO DOGS ALLOWED. I'm not sure if dogs are allowed on the beach.

    Dogs need beach time too!

    Beautiful area with various spaces and views of the beach to walk your dog. It would be great if only they would allow a small area where dogs could swim. It's hard for the dogs to see water and not be able to swim in it, especially if you have water dogs.

    lots of places to enjoy here

    This is a great place. However dogs are not allowed on the beach. There is plenty of places there to walk and play not on the beach. My dogs love it.
