One of the main draws of Southern California is the beaches. I’ve enjoyed my fair share of them as a beach volleyball player and cyclist. Now, as a dog owner, I want to run on the beach with my dog, but that isn’t as easy. If you live here, you understand; and if you happen to be visiting the area with your pup, you’re in luck because I have spent a lot of my time uncovering Southern California’s best dog beaches.
Dog Beach, Huntington Beach
Find 1.5 miles of beach to let your pooch run to their heart’s content. Dogs can enjoy the beach off leash and meet canine buds.
Dog Beach in Huntington Beach also makes for a great place to catch the sunset.
Rosie’s Dog Beach, Long Beach
Rosie’s Dog Beach in Long Beach offers a small, reserved area for canines to savor the sun and sand.

Arroyo Burro Beach Park, Santa Barbara
Now this is one I haven’t visited with my pup yet, but I have been there. I didn’t have a dog yet when I first visited, but this beach also offers some great grub. If you make your way out here, I recommend you plan it around brunch and visit Boathouse at Hendry’s Beach.
These are the three I am familiar with, and rest assured, I’ll share more as I discover these gems. Are there any dog beaches you visit with your pup?
Our family loves a good beach!

May 6, 2024What Maui Visitors Need to Know
There’s a lot happening on the beautiful island of Maui and recovery from the devastating fires in Lahaina is underway. Among happy events is a gorgeous cultural redesign of all the suites and villas at Fairmont Kea Lani, plus the opening of the resort’s Hale Kukuna — a 2,000-square-foot cultural center that focuses on sharing Hawai’ian culture, traditions and history, with the goal of a reciprocal sharing of ‘ike (knowledge) and mo’olelo (stories) that link the island’s storied past and vibrant present.

May 6, 2024Explore Portugal on a Wine Tasting Tour with a Touch of History
All it takes is one glance at the grounds of Quinta Dona Maria, which includes a grand villa and surrounding gardens, to realize wine tasting in Portugal comes with a good dose of history. The vineyard is located in Estremoz, just northeast of the first-century Roman ruins found in Evora. In 1718 King João V built this estate for his lover, Dona Maria. When she died, the current owner’s ancestors purchased the land and have been making wine ever since. Taste the wine, which is terrific, especially the full-bodied red Dona Maria Grand Reserve. Then venture inside a building that stores large amphora vases, including one dating back to the 1200s.
