The Dalvy beach located towards the east of Stanhope, in the national park of PIE is preferred by many for its clean sand and blue water. It is considered as one of the best beaches for physically disabled people, though not officially a park for disabled. Being close to the highway, it is immensely easy to access.
Since most of the popular hotels are located at a distance of about 200 miles, the beach can be easily accessed by a short stroll along the driveway of Shore Park Road. The spectacular dunes will not miss your sight. However, due to lack of proper care, the dunes are gradually getting perished. Recently, the naturalist department has taken an initiative to preserve them by instructing the people to walk using the carpeted footpaths and boardwalks.
During the month of July and August, temperature rises to about 18C. Normally, the sea is calm and quiet. The water is best suited for wading and swimming. Tide occurs twice daily owing to which the shoreline becomes narrow.
The Dalvy beach park is the habitat of diverse flora and fauna. If you are lucky, then you can come across one of the Red Foxes around the sand dunes. You can also catch sight of raccoons along the rocks that come by, searching for fishes. Over 300 species of birds can be seen around. These collections include the Great Blue Herons and the Pipling Plover. Being the nesting ground of the later, sometimes during summer, a small section of the beach is made restricted for public.
