We had the pleasure of exploring a breathtaking beach in August, accompanied by our adorable Chihuahua Arabell. The moment we arrived, we felt as if we had been transported to a far-off tropical paradise. The pristine sandy shores and the sparkling azure waters were simply awe-inspiring. We were so enamored with the place that we have already decided to return in the near future.

This beach is truly delightful. To reach it, you must descend the dune from the access point near the Haven Cav site. However, it is disheartening to see an abundance of microplastics scattered along the shoreline, which is a cause of concern for our planet. 😔🌊

The beach is simply delightful, and it's a perfect spot for dog owners as well. The waves are fantastic, and our kids had an absolute blast bodyboarding with them. The water isn't too deep, especially when you're quite far out, which makes it ideal for both young and older children. There were numerous families on the beach, and many of them had little inflatable boats with young children, which was a lovely sight to see.

This beach is absolutely breathtaking and welcomes furry friends with open arms. We parked in the Sandy Acres car park, which had reasonable parking fees and the option to pay through an app like Just Park. The car park has barriers, so simply pull up and lift once you've paid (easy peasy!). Although the descent down the dune to the beach is quite steep, the view is well worth it. The beach is expansive and not at all overcrowded, with life guards on duty for added safety. Despite being unsure of how this beach is distinguished from its dog-free neighbors during peak periods and certain times of the day, there's plenty of room to roam and enjoy the waves.

The beach is absolutely breathtaking with its mesmerizing view of fine sand and crystal clear blue water. Although it requires a short trek down the sand dunes from the parking bay, the journey is definitely worth it. The natural beauty of this beach is so stunning that you won't need any filters to capture amazing photos. Moreover, it is also a dog-friendly beach, making it an ideal destination for pet owners.
