Orange County is a destination that rolls out the welcome wagon to the entire family, not just the two-legged specimens.

You’re sure to have a Beach Boys sound track playing in your head as you and your pup cavort on aptly named Dog Beach, the leash-free segment of 3.5-mile-long Huntington Beach, centerpiece of the city of the same name (also known as Surf City USA).
