Loads of beaches all over the United States are dog-friendly. Some may have a few restrictions; for instances, dogs are limited from spending too much onshore during peak holiday months when there are huge crowds on the beach. However, this is not always the case. A few of the most dog-friendly beaches are Huntington Dog Beach in California, Fort De Soto Dog Beach in Tierra Verde, Florida, and Rosie’s Dog Beach in California. Here dogs are typically allowed to roam free without leashes, and even have some areas of the beach sectioned off specifically for them. Sounds pretty special!
