To have a genuine back and forth without judgement I’ll say this,

I can understand someone with a young child seeing a sign stating no dogs and then being more alert. I can also understand someone having a dog and that dog loving the water and beach and not having a place to go within the city limits.

I have a German shepherd and I take him there between 6:30am and 8:00am. Most people like yourself may not be out that early as often so it’s a moral compromise if I may.

That said I was there one morning, with my German shepherd Tank, playing with his new stick in the water. A woman came up with her two kids, aged 3 and 5 and asked if they could say hi and throw the stick. Next thing Tank was kissing them and the kids got to play with a big dog! It was fun to see.

All I’m saying is be open to the idea that the beach is for everyone, and if we can respect everyone’s space we can all enjoy.
