My pug-loving sister, my grandmother, and her constant companion Fifi, many years ago
I love the companionship of dogs on the beach. I love long walks; to walk on the beach; to walk with dogs; and particularly to walk with a dog along the shore.
Some dogs love the water (Pupzilla not-so-much) but even when they don't, I've never met a dog that didn't enjoy being at the beach.
We were lucky to find a nice hotel, right on the beach, that allowed dogs. There were plenty of rules but we were happy to follow them. Pupzilla got a balcony and she and I watched all the dog activity from afar.
Pupzilla doesn't play nicely with other dogs so we need to be extra careful when we are around canine friends. I was happy to see so many people obeying the leash law the first few days but once the beach got deserted, most people felt the rule no longer applied. This curtailed our activities a bit.
There were also some "big dogs" on the beach. I love horses. I've never been an accomplished rider (although always wanted to be) but I thrill at the sight of a horse.

Looks like a great beach and you must have all had a terrific time. I spent the end of September/early October in a dune shack again this year. A bit stormier than it looks like the weather where you were. I sure wish I'd had a nice big dog to keep me company on walks along the ocean and on the dunes. No dogs allowed in the shacks though. A National Park Service rule. Since the Park Service--at least some members--would like nothing better than to get rid of the shacks, everyone tries real hard to obey the rules.
I love seeing these photos. I love beaches off-season -- and especially in the early morning or in the evening, when there aren't many people about.
Hi Brigindo,
Great photos. The beach is my second favorite place to be, after mountain trails deep in the woods. Our favorite beach is a National Wildlife Refuge, and our second favorite beach is unwild Daytona Beach. Your beach looks gorgeous.
Yes, yes, yes! The beach...dogs...and horses! Three of my favorite things. I love the pictures. Pupzilla is gorgeous. I love those soulful eyes.
