No beaches in range

Keep the beach day safe

Fresh water first. A thirsty dog will drink seawater and regret it -- offer clean water constantly.
Rinse the salt off. A hose-down after the beach prevents itchy skin and chewed paws later.
Respect the water. Currents do not care how well your dog swims; stay close in surf.
Enforce shade breaks. Dogs overheat fast on reflective sand -- rest them before they ask.

One real hazard to know: blue-green algae. In warm, still water it forms greenish scums or streaks, and it can be lethal to dogs within hours of ingestion. If the water looks pea-soupy, discoloured or has surface scum, keep the dog out entirely and do not let them drink. When in doubt, skip the swim -- a walk by the water is still a good day.

Inland water counts too

Dogs are not fussy about salt. A calm lake or slow river often beats a beach for swimming: gentler water, thinner crowds, and rules that are usually looser away from the official swim zones. Local pet shops know the access points dog owners actually use -- ask.
