Dunbar Beach — Attraction in Beverly Shores

Absolutely stunning and beautiful!

I have never been to such a well-kept, clean, and quiet beach!

There is a restroom nearby that is spotless too. There is a bridge/stairway to the beach, but I am not sure if there’s any other location close by for those who struggling stepping. The last few minutes of driving is a beautiful stretch with trees and plants especially in the fall.

I have been to the beach in late summer and fall (July-September) as shown by the pictures below. I would recommend getting to the beach before noon specifically for summer visitors as the parking lot can get full quickly. In the summer, there is a park ranger who monitors the lot as it is hard for multiple cars to go in and out at once.

The summer days are best for swimming and sun bathing. However, the fall days are equally good. I would recommend going at the end of summer and fall for a nice hike along the beach and relaxing...

Well we couldn't have asked for a better day! We came to this beach because it's dog friendly 🐕 how wonderful! Parking was limited, but we got a spot right away! The beach was beautiful!!! Everyone was so happy enjoying the day! Kayaking, families swimming... the dogs were enjoying playing on the beach with their families! No park employees on the beach out was just a nice chill day. We stayed all day! Nice bathrooms with a foot shower. The walk to the beach from the parking lot was easy, just the sand was very hot 88° day, so I carried my little fur baby to the water. People had tents for shade. They close at 11pm. I'll be back as often as I can this place was magical! The rocks at the waters edge we're a little hard to walk through so maybe water shoes will help.

Nice beach area. Dogs allowed. Very limited parking. Parking available in summer generally very early or late. Do not plan on parking here unless here super early. Check out National Park Beach hotline for more info on parking. Kemil has more parking, West Beach has even more parking. Your best bet in Beverly Shores is to drop things at beach, park at train station and bike to beach. No lifeguards. If waves, be very careful of rip current. If caught in rip, flip on back and float until out of current. No lifeguards so you can use your favorite floaties and beach toys...
