I have to either leave my dog in the woods or watch from a distance while others enjoy the beach, just like at every other beach. I wish there were more dog-friendly beaches in each town.

The beach is absolutely stunning with crystal clear water, although it can be a bit challenging to climb. However, I never tire of visiting this place and always look forward to returning. The parking lot is quite spacious and it's a peaceful spot with no noise to disturb your relaxation.
