Lower Rockway Falls
Park
👍👍 The Rockway Falls are lovely. Better seen after it's rained of course, but still pretty good on other days too. The trail to around the Lower Falls themselves can be a bit uneven, but you can still get a pretty good view from further back. And you get to enjoy the trail leading up to the Falls be...

Good shade with plenty of trees and various terrain for dogs to explore. Pavillions for the pawrents to get out of the sun, with picnic tables. The only draw...

Coronation Park Rock Beach
Park
👍 It is beautiful and all but visiting people should refrain from littering all over the place especially near the beach area.
