This beach is the best spot for dogs in the area, allowing them to roam off leash at all times.

In my opinion, this is the best dog beach in the area for off-leash fun. There's a nice long stretch for your furry friend to run and play. The only downside is that there are no restrooms at the main park, so be mindful of your bathroom needs before heading out for a long walk with your pup.
