How this list was built
Computed directly from data/beaches.json's status field — only beaches marked "official" (confirmed by a municipality or operator as a designated dog beach, not merely tolerated) are shown. 22 of the remaining beaches are "tolerated" rather than officially designated; 4 carry an unverified status, meaning even that broader designation has not been independently confirmed yet.
