I went there for the first time on on Saturday (June 25, 2016). We live in the city and after reading some good reviews of this dog beach, we decided to rent a car and drive up to let our dog play on a beach/in the water.
We were only there about 20 minutes when a cop came onto the beach and kicked everyone out with a warning of a $175 ticket for anyone with a dog off-leash. She was nice about it--kind of embarrassed to have to kick us out--and said she is just following her orders and "new mayor, new rules".

Ā Ā Ā Read moreGreat place to visit with the dogs. I have a pit lab mix and she had a blast. It's not a huge section of the beach but the dogs don't care! Although it says dogs must be leashed it is not enforced so please keep that in mind for dogs with possible aggression or anxiety problems. Dogs can and will come up to your dog and fast. 4 stars because it doesn't have very open hours and for those with trouble walking, parking isn't close by. The beach is also very rocky and filled with shells so again it can be...
