Dog beaches are designated areas along the shoreline where dogs are allowed to play and swim freely. These beaches often have specific rules to ensure the safety and enjoyment of both dogs and their owners. Common features include off-leash zones, dog-friendly amenities, and waste disposal stations. Many dog beaches are equipped with shallow water areas for dogs to splash around and socialize with other pets. Some locations may also host events or activities, such as dog agility contests or dog-friendly picnics, fostering a sense of community among dog owners and their furry companions.
