Local dog-lovers have fought hard to preserve the mile-long Huntington Dog Beach just south of Bolsa Chica State Beach. It’s one of the few places in California where dogs can frolic on the beach or chase a tennis ball into the pounding surf without a leash. You might even see surfers with their dogs on board happily riding the waves. While the canines socialize, fellow dog-owners strike up conversations in this laid-back setting. Who knows, if you bring your dog along you might even meet a new friend for you and your dog. The beach is open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., so remember to stay within the boundaries, clean up after your pet and have a blast!
Here are some dog beach/park safety rules:
1. NO FOOD OF ANY KIND IS ALLOWED INSIDE THE DOG PARK –
• This is a "zero tolerance" rule.
• Nothing creates chaos faster than does dogs competing for food.
2. CHILDREN UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE MUST BE WITHIN ARM’S REACH OF A SUPERVISING ADULT –
• This is a Dog Park, not a playground or daycare center. While children
• are not prohibited, they are not particularly welcome because it’s NOT
• safe. It’s not fair to responsible dog owners to have to worry about children
• who misbehave or dogs who may not be used to active children.
• If you bring children into the Dog Park, you must supervise them, keeping
• them within arm’s reach and totally under control. If your children create problems for owners and their dogs, you will be asked to leave the Dog Park.
Parking at a meter in this area costs $.25 per 10 min. If you don’t mind walking a couple of blocks, up 22nd street there’s free parking on the street. The cache is a 30mm ammo container and is in a high traffic area, but most of the people are watching their dogs or the surfers. The items we started it with are all dog related so it would be fun to keep that going. There’s a little bit of rock climbing involved, so good footwear might be a smart idea. My wife and I are both over 60 and we had no trouble with the climbing.
