Dirty but not busy
It was a little eerie being the only one on the beach but we had a nice walk. This beach desperately needs a beach sweeper. It is littered with thousands of crab carcasses and we also passed 5 dead birds. Washed up jellies were cool but dog poop isn't cool. People don't clean up after their dogs here. Still a nice walk with no people. We turned right and walked that way about a mile. Maybe walking to the left is cleaner. Go slow in the parking lot. Full of pot holes filled with water.

Nice beach for the dogs
I love it. Very dog friendly and a great place to spend the day. This is a special place to take your dogs and kids. Lots of beach to walk and lots of room to run.
