The woodland at the entrance is the oldest in the forest and was planted in 1948. Filtered views, through these older trees, reveal the upland sheep pastures around the headwaters of the Carey River. Visitors with dogs must keep their pets under proper control in the forest and especially so when walking near to sheep grazing areas.

Ballypatrick Forest is open daily, unless there is a need for occasional restrictions on access due to forestry operations.

This individually identified Pembrokeshire beach falls under the current official tourism statement welcoming dogs to all county beaches. The current National Park seasonal-exclusion list does not restrict this selected beach; the named visitor-page location and county identity have been checked individually. Keep dogs supervised and under control, clear waste and follow current signs and any temporary wildlife or access restrictions. Confirm any dog limits or charges with the relevant operator and check current lifeguard information if needed. Beach permission does not establish admission to nearby cafes or unlimited off-lead access. The original licensed marker remains an approximate whole-beach point, not an entrance or safe tide route; the visitor page’s separately published coordinates corroborate the same beach and are not substituted for it. Access requires roughly half a mile on foot over cliffs from Stackpole Quay parking, with many steps. The visitor page states this route is unsuitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs. There are no beach facilities; take waste away and check the tide before visiting.

Bartons Point Coastal Park on Marine Parade welcomes pets, interpreted as dogs under the directory convention. It has outdoor paths and a saltwater lake; keep dogs controlled, clear waste, observe signs and protect wildlife. Confirm any local lead requirements or event closures. Camping is no longer permitted. Cafe indoor access and neighbouring beaches have independent rules. The listed tourism support phone and email are council tourism contacts, not a verified onsite cafe number. The licensed named park-grounds marker and Marine Parade address are retained; no new entrance is claimed.
