Yesterday we went to the beach. Los Angeles has many beaches but dogs are only allowed on a handful, so we went to Leo Carrillo State Beach which is part of a big park of the same name. You can camp and hike in the park and the beach has tide pools and a giant kelp forest. You almost always see seals, otters and porpoises there because of all the fish that are in the kelp forest. In the winter, you can watch whales migrating by as they head south for the winter. There is a part of the beach that dogs are allowed on, but you have to be on a leash. I don’t mind, we have one of those 20 foot extending leashes, so I get a lot of space to roam. We set up camp and went down to test the water.
The water was nice, not too cold. I don’t go all the way in but I like to walk along the surf. There were a lot of dogs around, so I said hello to a few.
The little dogs don’t usually go in the water. I think they would get wiped out by the waves! I like to watch all the activity going on.
There was a volleyball game, divers checking out the kelp forest and surfers surfing…
and wiping out…
After a big walk on the beach I relaxed with the humans.
Well, tried to relax. There was a crazy pit-bull youngster playing and running all over next to us…
Then we watched as the pelicans would dive head first into the water to fish.
I like to sit really close to my humans and get them all wet but they don’t mind.
It was a great day!
Hi Spencer, good to see you having fun at the beach, we sure miss the ocean here in Wisconsin – and the dog park… I miss California! Hope you get to go play in the water more often!

Oh wow! Can you say envious!!! I would so love to romp with you in that water, and I’m sure my sis Gracie would love to dig in that sand. You are a lucky pup!
Hey Spencer!
You are SOOO lucky to get to spend the day at the beach. I would have loved to have done that. My humans don’t live very close to the beach but I do get to go to lakes and rivers sometimes…and there is a little creek by our house that I love to play in :)
Keep having fun!! :)
Newfie kisses!

Hi, Spencer.
I am so envy right now. Sure you had a great day at the beach. Here we don’t have beaches (its desertic zone) or dog parks. My walkies must be around my neighborhood!
I like your pictures with your humans, specially the one where you are relaxing.
Have a good night
