Ocean day for Riggs

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.

DogTrekker.com reader Michelle M. wrote in to tell us about her dog-friendly adventures along the Mendocino Coast:

“We went camping at Manchester Beach, CA last weekend. Though the beach is not dog friendly, through DogTrekker we were able to find dog-friendly Schooner Gulch, about 15 minutes away. We had four dogs with us and they all had a great time! The picture is my dog Riggs. It was his first time at the ocean!”
