55This is a great space. We met the owners before visiting with our dog due to his reactivity to strangers. Owners were very flexible and kind in regards to my request. Jo showed us around the space, she is really sweet, and so welcoming. I loved our visit day with Devon. It was so nice to relax and let him explore and just have a carefree walk. Jo was great with communicating and directions to the property as well as where to park. I found this experience to be so joyful. I really appreciate her kindness, communication and freedom to roam. We have booked our next visit.Cassie R.

55Attentive host! Great showing us the lay of the land. The horses were great distraction (no petting!) and curious.
Our dogs have a great recall, but if your dog doesn’t there is a lot of flat land to run & run far. Easy to use long lines if needed.
Can wait to go and play again! Sara M.

55This is such a great spot to take your dog to run and explore. There's so much space with clearly-marked fencing for you to play fetch or just run around and feel secure that your dog won't get loose. Jo and her husband were wonderful and met us to show us around the property and answer any questions. We will definitely be back!Stan P.

55Fantastic magical spot. Long grass for my pit bull to hop around like a bunny, lots of stinky muddy pits for my St. Bernard X to roll in, and river access for swimming! Really welcoming and kind homeowner showed me around. The spot is massive and super fun. Our hour flew by, and we will certainly be back. Thank you!Lorenzo F.

55The host is really wonderful at communicating how to get to the location and where to park. She also showed us around when we got there and gave us the lay of the land. The area by the river is a nice quiet spot away from everything. And the field around the property is great for running and sniffing! Our dog had a great time and we had fun watching him explore!Ambra R.

FAQ about our Amboy dog beaches
Are dog beaches safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find dog beaches near me?
There are 2 dog beaches in the Amboy area. The most popular dog beach is Rena's Private Dog Park In Sandy. You can browse all of our dog beaches here.
How do I know if a dog beach works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog beach sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
No. We only allow one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits. So when you book a Sniffspot park you have the entire place to yourself and your dog-owning friends if you invite them. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings so you will not run into other park patrons when coming or leaving.

Can I have an event or party at a dog beach?
If you are planning an amazing dog beach party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
