      NOT DOG FRIENDLY

      I got a $400 ticket for being in the water with my service dog unleashed. We entered the water with me holding his vest as well as exiting the water the same fashion. [Expletive] this beach and the state park ranger.

      Good Option for Beaching with Dogs

      We went on a Friday afternoon, and it wasn't too busy. Owners followed the leash rule, keeping their furry friends on a leash. Plenty of room to run with your dog up and down the beach. Our dog loved going into the water. Wish they had a wash off area but that wasn't a major concern for us as we came prepared.
