STORIES ADOPT A DOG

Humboldt county off-leash beaches

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.

A wealth of off-leash beaches within the wave slope make the Humboldt shore one of the most dog-friendly coastal areas in California.

A favorite with locals  is Clam Beach in McKinleyville, the perfect end point for a hike along the five-mile Hammond Coastal Trail, voted in a recent newspaper poll as best place to hike in Humboldt County.

North of Arcata,  Highway 101 hugs the continent’s edge all the way to Trinidad, where dog-friendly Moonstone Beach offers gorgeous vistas of rugged headlands and rocky coves.
