It’s a Dog’s Life…
Filed Under Lifestyles,
It may seem extravagant to some, especially if you are not from a coastal area, but this is a regular day at the beach for Gus and Reese who are my friend’s dogs. Carmel beach is a mecca for dogs and is one of the few beaches in our area that does NOT have a leash law. You may think this would lead to mayhem but it actually works out pretty well. Most of the dogs love to come and see their friends, new and old.
The Carmel Pine Cone even has an article titled “Sandy Claws” each week in their paper. The author goes to the beach each week in search of a dog to write about and tells their story including their owner, any pet siblings, even where they sleep at night. It’s really cute.
You also have a variety of restaurants that have outdoor dining for pets. The Forge in the Forest has a special Doggy Menu to choose lunch for your canine companion. Or you can stay at Dorris Day’s hotel, The Cypress Inn, which not only accepts pets in their rooms, they have staff that will walk and babysit them (for a small fee) while you do you enjoy Carmel on a human level.
So if you are looking for a dog friendly place to visit or live Carmel should be at the top of your list.
