    "Even though I am only visiting, I will be moving to the area in the next two weeks. From everything I’ve seen, it’s a dog friendly atmosphere with walking trails, the beach and designated areas. I would assume that everyone picks up after their animals. I haven’t seen anything that would suggest otherwise. I have seen a ton of folks with large and small breed alike. "
