I give the location thumbs up for closeness to on-lead dog beach - a walk through the park, and unit is great. Just be aware:
1. this is a popular surfing beach and so expect a lot of traffic noise from 5 am as unit is right on the carpark. (Ok for us as we rise early anyway)
2. don't move your car on weekends as you will not find a park again. (so stay put and enjoy the beach)
3. phone coverage in the area is often poor. (good to claim you're "off grid")
I hope this does not sound negative, we were not disappointed and still a great place for access to beach with furry friend, I would definitely stay again.
