We have taken Max to to several beaches along the California coast, and this is what we thought:
- Carmel City Beach - nice, open area, pretty crowded, but no leash required
- Carmel Pebble Beach - more secluded and could play off leash and run to the water, but there was a significant amount of seaweed on the beach
- Stinson Beach - nice beach, but is always chilly there, be sure to take his sweater; many dog-friendly restaurants in the area
- Seaside - Beautiful coast line with walking path near the beach, many dog-friendly restaurants in the area
- Muir Beach - beautiful beach with picnic area too; a few other small dogs there; plenty of room to frolic
- Half Moon Bay - walked along a guided path near the beach and on trails; nice, but not our favorite
- Marina State Beach - saw surfers and dolphins, but dogs aren't allowed on the actual beach, only surrounding area
- Monterey State Beach - had fun chasing little squirrels, beautiful beach with small trails off the beach
- Fisherman's Wharf at Monterey - very dog friendly, loads of outdoor dining
- Fisherman's Wharf at San Francisco - also dog friendly, not as much outdoor dining, a bit more chilly
Max is enjoying a scenic view of Carmel

Hi, Max.
Nice to meet you!
I live in Mexico in the middle of the desert so, no beaches here. Sure many other doggies will help you!

Hi Max the beach is my favourite place in the world too - I don't care which one as long as there's sand and water I'm happy!!!
I really loved that last photo of you and your humans on the beach it's beautiful.

Lucky u. On my island, there are lotsa restrictions. We can't go off leash on beaches! To make things worse, there was an incident recently when an unleashed husky attacked a toddler. Almost ripped off her ears. Now my hoomans don't bring me to the beach until this whole hoo-haa settles.
i certainly do have my ways, lst of all i have four dogs, two labs our hearing dog terrier for my 90% deaf daughter, and a cocker spaniel who is the queen of our house....secondly we love dogs, army of four, ivys, cooper, sitka, knapps dogs, and have been writing to them so you came from their reccommendation about how neat you and yor dog are...thirdly i have just retired and love people, dogs and the internet
So sorry to say that I have no puppy (I have a bunny) but love your blog. Your photo of the three of you is soooo cute!! Your beach shots are wonderful.. :) :) Max is just a real cutie!! and he can drive. Now that must be a bonus!! :) :)
