Summerland beach

Mark Evans
This charming park boasts a stunning view of the beach and even features a convenient doggy bath for furry companions. During our visit on a Wednesday afternoon, we noticed a fair amount of pups, mostly on their leashes as per the rules. However, there were a handful of playful pooches chasing after balls on the sand. We give this park a solid four-star rating, only deducting one star due to a faint oil scent in the air.

The beach we stumbled upon after parking along the road past the Emma Wood sign was a sight to behold. The stunning views and breathtaking sunset left us in awe. What's more, the beach was not as crowded as other beaches we had visited before, making it a peaceful escape. We were thrilled to find out that dogs were allowed on the beach, and parking was free. However, it's essential to note that there are no restrooms available on-site. This hidden gem of a beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for a serene and picturesque escape.
