Huntington Dog Beach is a 1.5-mile stretch where dogs can roam leash-free, making it one of the most popular dog-friendly beaches in California!
Thanks to dedicated volunteers and community efforts, the beach is regularly cleaned, ensuring a pristine environment for both dogs and their owners.
The beach was established in 1997 after local dog lovers campaigned for a dedicated space for their furry friends.
Every year, the beach hosts the Surf City Surf Dog competition, where dogs ride the waves and compete for the title of top surfer!
A bronze statue named 'Benny the Surfing Dog' stands proudly at the entrance, commemorating the beach's beloved canine visitors.
The beach is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the summer when the weather is perfect for a beach day with your pup.
Just a short walk from the beach, you can find cafes that welcome dogs, offering treats and water bowls for your furry companion.
Besides dogs, the beach is home to various seabirds and marine life, making it a great spot for nature enthusiasts.
