Doggy Beach

Dogs feel the heat too. To cool them off, take them to the Doggy Beach located at Peach Orchard Beach. This is a fenced beach area and owners are asked to obey all signage and to use good judgment with their animals. As per signage posted, dogs are also now allowed to run at Peach Orchard Beach from approx. October - April.  Please be sure to use your doggies bags!!

Owner Responsibility

Responsible owners license and vaccinate their dogs. If you leave home with your dog, be prepared to clean up after it by carrying plastic bags. The municipality has joined in the clean up effort by placing several doggy bag stands throughout the downtown area for owner convenience. Please feel free to grab one "just in case". If you want to take your dog on the road with you, please know that all dogs traveling in vehicles must be tethered or confined. It is recommended that you use a leash no longer than 2 m (6.5ft). You must have your dog on a leash while on a highway, in a park or other public place unless it is a designated dog area, and try to stay at least 10m (30 ft) away from playgrounds. Please look for and obey all signage.
