The beach is clean and well-maintained, and there is convenient parking available for a fee of £3.30 for six hours. The signage clearly indicates which areas are designated for dogs and which are not. Visitors can enjoy swimming and playing in the water.

Wow, what a stunning beach! The view is absolutely breathtaking. During my visit, the beach was very peaceful in the morning, although it can be a bit rocky. Despite this, it still provides a serene atmosphere just like any other beach. It takes around 5 minutes to walk on the sand from the car park, which can be a bit difficult. There is a pay and park option, but we found a few spots along the road that weren't marked and stayed there for the night without paying. Overall, I highly recommend this beach!

The beach is fantastic! It has a combination of sand and stones, but it's a beautiful spot and perfect for dogs (although there are some restrictions). The area provides a vast space for them to explore, and there's ample parking available. Overall, we give it a thumbs up!

The beach is absolutely beautiful with its pristine and immaculate appearance. During summer, dogs are permitted on one side of the beach, while in winter, they are allowed to roam freely all along the beach. Additionally, the beach boasts of its golden sand, which adds to its charm and allure.

We spent some time at the Dog Beach area and found the beach to be absolutely stunning with its golden sand. The view was breathtaking and we enjoyed soaking up the sun while taking in the serene atmosphere.
