Grab your sunscreen, pack a towel, and get ready for summer! Going to
the beach can be awesome for a day of relaxing in the sun, playing in
the water, and heading home a little sandy and tan. Your favorite friend
may also enjoy playing and romping around in the sand and surf. If so,
make sure the beach is dog-friendly and observe the rules ane
regulations that apply.
Here’s our pick of the 5 best beaches to visit
- Dog Beach – Key West, Florida
– There are a few beaches in Key West, this one is for the dogs… after
running around and playing, head over to one of the many dog-friendly
cafes to get a drink and sit in the shade. The beach is great for
off-leash fun but it is a little rocky. This is a public beach and free.
It’s not huge but it’s definitely perfect for a pack of dogs to make
friends, run in the sand, and splash in the water.
- Montrose Dog Beach – Chicago, Illinois
– This is the first legal off-leash dog beach in Chicago and is located
off Montrose Beach. The beach is free but all dogs must have a DFA tag
which is $5. Also, there are rules for dogs such as no food, no prong or
pinch collars, and you must clean up after your dog.
- Cannon Beach – Cannon Beach, Oregon – Cannon Beach
is recognized by its landmark, Haystack Rock, located to the southwest
of downtown Cannon Beach, near Tolovana Park. Dogs are allowed on the
beach either one leash or under voice control, meaning, your dog is
well-trained and will come when called even with all the awesomeness and
fun surrounding you both. Bring bags to clean up after your pet and get
ready for a fun day of playing. It does get chilly on the coast so keep
an eye on your dog and make sure s/he’s not too cold after playing in
the water.
- Huntington Beach – Huntington Beach, California
– this beach is about 3 miles long and far enough away from the roads
that you can let your dog roam without worry. It’s got some rocky parts
but mostly it’s a great space for your pup to run and splash. If your
dog is not great with recall, this is a great spot to work on that with a
long lead. It’s spacious enough that you won’t be crowded in. Parking
can be a pain so get there early!
- Del Mar Dog Beach – San Diego, California – This
beach has been dog friendly since 1959 and 9 months of the year dogs are
allowed to run, stomp, and play on the sand. The beach is about 2 miles
long and near two parks. The most popular spot is North Beach area for
dogs and their humans. Don’t forget to bring bags to clean up after your
pup and a frisbee!
