Dog-friendly beaches are coastal areas where dogs are allowed to roam, play, and enjoy the water alongside their owners. These beaches often have designated sections or specific hours when pets can be off-leash, allowing for a fun and safe environment for both dogs and their owners. Many dog-friendly beaches provide amenities such as waste disposal stations, fresh water, and sometimes even dog-friendly events. Popular examples include Cannon Beach in Oregon and Huntington Dog Beach in California, where dogs can socialize and enjoy the sun and surf in a welcoming atmosphere.
