Leash up and start walking
After you park your vehicle it is time to leash up your pooch and start walking the wonderful sandy expanse of Skateholm beach. Always be considerate of other dog owners that also might be enjoying the area. Be sure to pick up after your dog and keep the sand pristine and beautiful.
Step

Dip a toe
If it is a hot day then why not encourage your beloved pooch to dip a toe in the warm ocean water? It is not an excessively deep area so your pal can easily wade into the water without having to swim. Most dogs will enjoy the refreshing feel of the water.

Make sandcastles
Okay, your dog can't really help build a sandcastle but he can sure enjoy digging in the sand. You could even hide a treat and encourage them to find it. Most dogs love digging and searching for things in the sand. Just remember to not leave large holes. Always fill in the areas where your canine digs so no one accidentally falls into the hole.
