From the PetUnited editors

Carson Beach belongs on a seasonal shortlist, not a year-round dog-beach itinerary. Dogs are prohibited on the sand from May 1 through September 15. Outside that period, plan a leashed visit; the official listing does not grant off-leash beach access. Check the state guidance before choosing a date so a coastal walk does not depend on permissions that are unavailable in summer.
