Adventure #5 of Summer...
Visit L.A. for a day!
There is lots to see and do in Los Angeles. And despite the popular belief that 'No Body Walks in L.A.', there are plenty of pedestrian-friendly excursions for you and your dog.
Be a Tourist - Take a stroll down the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and see if you can spot any stars belonging to famous dogs. Then, stop at the Chinese Theatre and see if your paws fit anyone famous (there are famous animal prints there too).
Be Active - Hike to the Hollywood sign. There are a few trail options, ranging from easy to difficult, depending on your comfort level. The trails are open from sunrise to sunset, same hours as the Griffith Park (since they are all part of the park).
Be a Foodie - Find a food truck or an outdoor patio at a restaurant and grab some grub with your pup. You can enjoy some people watching and take in the sounds of L.A.

Adventure #8 of Summer...
Cool off at Huntington Dog Beach
One of the best places for a dog to be a dog is romping through the sand and splashing in the water at the Huntington Dog Beach. Even if your dog doesn’t like the water, playing on the sand is a better workout for him them walking on concrete.
The dog beach can be found at the very end of Goldenwest Street in Huntington Beach (around lifeguard tower 24). The dog beach stretches from Goldenwest Street to Seapoint Street (to the right of Goldenwest when facing the beach from PCH). There is metered parking along PCH or free parking one to five blocks inland, among the homes. Check out the Huntington Dog Beach website for a list of beach rules and other FAQs.
Don’t forget to bring poop bags, a towel, fresh water for your dog, and sunblock if your dog requires it. If it is your dog’s first time at the beach don’t be afraid to take it slow. You want his first experience to be positive so you can come back again.
Stop for a Bite at the Park Bench Café…
After a good run at the beach, your pup should be tired. A tired dog is a good dog, so it’s the perfect time to stop in at the Park Bench Café for a bite to eat.
Located at 17732 Goldenwest Street, in Huntington Beach, the Park Bench Café is a one of a kind stop for dog lovers who want to enjoy food and the beautiful outdoors with their four-legged friends.
After you order one of their delicious menu items for yourself, be sure to get something for your dog off the dog menu. Your pooch can get a hot dog (without the bun), chicken, ground beef, bacon, lean ground turkey, and even eggs. Check out the Park Bench Café website for a complete menu and list of dog rules to make sure your first visit there goes smoothly. And if you have the energy after eating, you and your pup can saunter around the beautiful surrounding park before heading home.
