We had initially thought that we wouldn't be able to visit Coral Beach as all of the guide books said the dogs weren't allowed, and after the disappointment we'd had at Waternish Point we didn't want a repeat performance. Luckily though we met another couple walkin thier dog on the Thursday who said that dogs were welcome on the beach, as they'd been there the day before. So we decided that we would pay a visit on the Friday morning, they were forecasting rain by lunch time so we headed really early to miss it. We needn't have bothered he rain arrived early, just as we got to the beach. It didn't matter though it w well worth the visit.
