More cons than pros

Pros: no pet fee, friendly staff. Cons: Loud road noise. Although a non-smoking room, it reeked of cigarette smoke. Nearby rooms have their doors open as I walked by with my dog, and I can smell the cigarette smoke in those non-smoking rooms as well. The comforter was STAINED, as in, big, brown stand that looked like spilled coffee, orange splotches, cigarette burn, only 1 towel. I only needed some place to sleep so I wasn't looking for fancy, but I also wasn't looking for a headache from the smell.

Great on a weekday

Clean, well-maintained, some shade.
Steps lead to the beach; no ramp.
Nice, shady stroll from the parking to the dog beach.
Fence ends at the rocks and can be swum around by a determined dog.
Restroom near the dog beach entrance with outside dog parking since dogs not allowed in restroom.
No hose-off area that I'm aware of so take a gallon to rinse.

$6 cash to enter the park.
Went on a non-holiday weekday and it was quite busy. Wouldn't recommend a weekend if you have issues with crowded space.

Dogs were unleashed; no behavioral issues while I was there.

No separation by dog size. As with any dog park, it really comes down to owners being realistic about their dog's behavior and considering that before taking them to interact with other dogs.

My pup had a blast and that's what matters.
