      Higgins Beach is a dog lover's paradise

      We love going to Higgins'. Everyone loves dog there. Before 9am, dogs are allowed to run off-leash (if under voice control). Every dog and their owners were lovely. Edwin had a good time!

      The place is very clean. Parking is accessible.

      Great spot!

      We took our pup after 5 p.m., and it was a bit more crowded than I would have liked, but we went to the end of the beach, and it was much quieter there. Great place for fetch. Free and easy parking depending on the time and weather.
