There were plenty of dogs and their owners enjoying the beach in the off-leash area.

We saw dogs off all shapes and sizes – fluffy terriers.

Playful retrievers.

Obedient labradors.

Our beagle enjoyed the smells, the digs, and the socialising.

All in all, a lovely afternoon out.

Little did we know that this weather was to stick around for another month – perhaps even longer!
