In early morning, canines of every make and model can be seen romping happily on the sugar-fine sand that graces a beach situated just below the ninth hole at world-renowned Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Carmel Beach, administered by the city, is one of few beaches in this part of the state where it’s legal for your dog to run free, and DogTrekkers come from all over the country and even abroad to take advantage of the privilege.
The mile-long strand is within walking distance of the romantic village of Carmel-by-the-Sea, one of the most architecturally unique and dog-friendly towns in America. If you’ve never seen a dog threaten to wag its tail right off its body from pure joy, you will when your pooch gets his paws wet while chasing waves on this cherished piece of real estate.
