Facilities

Dominion's facilities include a large change house that includes showers, flush toilets, and abundant parking in two large parking lots.

Beach Safety

Dominion is a relatively safe beach with a gentle sloping sand bottom. It can experience large surf conditions when the wind is blowing from the Northeast. The rough surf conditions develop strong currents which can make swimming dangerous.The supervised swimming area is marked by two red and yellow flags approximately 200m apart. The lifeguards advise patrons to use the boardwalks and not enter the sand dunes and to always swim in the supervised area. On days with offshore winds lifeguards ask that no inflatables or floatation devices be used.

Directions
