Here’s the dish on dog-friendly dining

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.

Little River Inn has always offered outdoor restaurant seating for four-legged friends. Now, the property’s exclusive new dog-friendly dining cabanas make meals even more inviting. Available to resort guests by reservation, the five heated hideaways feature the same delicious menus as the main dining room. Book today for a one-of-a-kind experience that brings families together over fresh California flavors.

Lovely landscaping surrounds these cheery blue cabanas that are outfitted with individual heaters and ambient lighting. Most spaces seat four people and two dogs, and a larger option accommodates six people and three pups. After guests order by QR code, meals and drinks get delivered directly to the table.

The cabanas feature the same seasonal breakfast and dinner menus that repeat Little River Inn guests love. The culinary team here emphasizes all things local, including fresh catch from area fisheries, foraged mushrooms and produce picked at places like Laughing Duck Farm. Dinner dishes range from classic beer-battered fish and chips to Thai-inspired local rock cod with panang red curry sauce or pappardelle bolognese with braised beef and pork.

The inn’s restaurant also serves seafood, salads, and a hearty burger with bacon jam on its pet-friendly garden terrace. Of course, diners might decide to keep things cozy by ordering room service and winding down on the patio with pups as stars peek out over the Pacific.
