Sainte Cecile is a popular summer resort with plenty going on in season. If you're juggling the needs of family, dog and friends then this is a good bet to keep everyone happy.

The Opal Coast is renowned for its massive sandy beaches and, with the exception of weekends in July and August, it's surprisingly easy to find seafront parking and an abundance of exercise space for the pooch.

The beach here is split equally between the dog zone and a no-dogs area, and this is clearly signed.
