    Great spot! Hard to find parking

    Me & my pup have been here several times. We love that they allow dogs all day, as opposed to some other local beaches. Overall, clean & pretty beach that can be busy at times. Expect to see lots of other dogs!

    Amazing Beach!

    This beach was our favorite beach that we visited. It was so clean and plenty of space for a lot of people. It also had really soft sand and the water was slightly warmer since it was in the bay. We were also able to see dolphins! This was by far my dog’s favorite place that we visited in Maine.

    Clean beach!

    Came on a Monday, overcast! lot was nearly full. The beach was great for a puppy exploring the water- can’t be crowded because it’s semi-private. 4 stars because of limited parking!

    Great spot to spend the day.

    I loved the whole idea of being allowed to take my dog to the beach. it was a great experience and all the dogs I saw were well behaved. It’s a shame more beaches aren’t like this. As others said, parking is extremely limited so be prepared for that. I would absolutely recommend (I liked it so much we went back a second time during our trip to the area.)

    Hard to find and little parking

    No parking if you get there after 11am. Mostly out-of-state cars.

    Perfect Dog Friendly Beach

    So thankful to find an all day dog friendly beach to stop at on our way home! There were many other well behaved dogs, and it was not too overcrowded

    Had A Blast At Bay View Beach

    We took our pup to Bay View Beach today and he had the absolute best time. I’m not sure who had more fun - our pup or us watching him have the time of his life. The weather was a bit overcast but the temperature was probably mid-70s. The water temps were decent and the beach wasn’t overly crowded. There were probably 8-10 other dogs who passed by us but our pup could’ve cared less. He was too content chasing his ball and splashing in and out of the waves. We will definitely be back! 🐶❤️🌊

    All Day Dog Beach!

    We were so happy to find a beach that allows dogs to go all day! It is a nice sandy beach. Our pups swam, dug in the sand and laid on the beach!

    Fun day at the beach

    I was so happy to find a nice beach that allowed us to have our dog with us during the day and not for 2 hours in the early morning!

    Great dog friendly beach

    This beach was relatively busy because of the 4th of July holiday weekend, but everyone was courteous and there were plenty of other dogs about. Patrons were diligent about picking up dog waste, so the beach was nice and clean. I can't wait to take Ares back!
