We went every day for the week we were there and Blue loved it. She swam, bounded through the water, stalked some dophins and played with all the dogs, big and small. Some days there were more than 20 dogs there and some days only a few but they all seemed to get along. Most all dogs are off leash... More

I had read reviews on the dog beach before our first trip and i agree and disagree with the previous reviews. I read that someone thought the beach was dangerous because it was so close to the highway....in my opinion yes its close but for the first part you should have your dog leashed and if youre going to bring...

My first time there just to check it out without having my dog with me while on vacation, I watched a dog do it's duty and the owner never picked it up. At all dog parks I go to in Green Bay WI they have posts with an old mailbox on that they put plastic bags in. People bring extra... More

Stopped as the tide was going out. Particularly high tides while we were in the area, so not much beach without wading through knee deep water. Osprey next next to the bridge.

lots of dog excrement everywhere as most of the dog owners don't seem to realise that they need to clean up after their dog. otherwise, it is a very nice setting as you are right on the beach which is a rarity for dog owners.

Wonderful place to let your pooch unwind and play with their furry friends. Make sure you take your sunscreen, because your furry friend will want to stay the day.

Just south of Lovers Key this "small Inlet sand spit" is the only Dog Friendly Bch venue in a 30 mile stretch of pay parking Bch access Along this often polluted coast. Caution large dogs off leash run free here.

OK, so I know its a dog beach. I didn't expect much but the truth is, it is much too small for the large volume of dogs that visit here. Such a shame really as it is one of the few dog-friendly facilities in Lee County. I took my little terrier, Pasco Bear, with me and he had a great... More

I don't have a dog anymore, but absolutely loved going here and watching the dogs and their owners interact together. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.
