First time and last time ... took my yellow lab and he was attacked by a pitbull while I was playing frisbee with my lab....had to rush him to emergency b/c the pit bit his ear and almost tore it off. Also, people need to pick up after their dogs ... people/children are sharing that beach also. More

We can't even mention the word "Beach" around our house since it causes a complete silly fit by our Lab. Visits to the Dog Beach are one of our favorite trips with her.

First visit, I was hesitant because you can't see the beach from the parking lot - only LOTS of muddy wet sand. But I'm THRILLED we decided to check it out, because as soon as we rounded... More

We love dog beach and our dog has a blast there. I am not a dog park kind of person, but I take my dog as often as possible from Marco Island! The humans are pretty responsible and that makes it fun!!! More

Entrance leaves a lot to be desired green water from standing so long, lots of dogs, some not so friendly the day we went. Dogs not the problems, owners are the problem. More

We've been to this dog beach 3 times now, brought our small dog, Jiggs. 2 other times, we were there with family members and their dogs too. Dogs had a ball, in and out of the water. Met many other dogs, some big, some small. No problems at all. I recommend this park. No amenities but they had 2 porta-potties... More
