STORIES ADOPT A DOG

Dog-gone good dining at the Little River Inn

By: DogTrekker Staff
A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

After a day spent hiking the Big River Trail, swimming at nearby Van Damme State Beach, or simply lounging on your ocean-view deck, you’re bound to get hungry. The Little River Inn has dog-friendly dining on the garden patio, complete with small plates, seafood and seasonal dishes.

You can also order room service and enjoy dinner against an ocean sunset backdrop. From there, Ole’s Whale Watch Bar is the ideal place for a nightcap.
