Dogs on Beach

[raven316]

OK, it looks like things are pretty good with the beaches. I assume you still have your draconian laws that will keep my pups from enjoying a little sand time if we decide to come back down in November?

 

[Jdarg]

Yes.

And there are many other beaches that have dog laws/rules, not just SoWal.

Bring 'em. Let them romp as long as they don't bother anyone and don't poop on the sand. The penalty will be rather minor if you get a ticket, as opposed to the death sentence Draco usually prescribed for minor offenses.

If you do get a ticket then I disavow any knowledge of this statement.

Actually, I disagree with Kurt as I have had more then several beach excursions unpleasantly compromised by tourist's dogs. If you don't have a permit, please keep them off the beach.

I mostly agree with Douglas, but I'm ok with leashed dogs that are picked up after. Big italics on the "picked up after!!!"

Too many people just don't understand that there are folks afraid of dogs, like my wife, who has nasty scars because of someone's "cute little doggy".

its unfortunate but necessary when we become such a popular destination. I hated this too. Dogs are much more respectful of the planet, including the beach, even with poop, than we could ever be.

Its their owners who sometimes lack responsibility. So really, its not a penalty against dogs. Its against owners who really don't use common sense a lot of the time. local or tourist owner.

just find a nice secluded beach and let 'em go have a ball. can't imagine a dog being happy on a leash on the beach. poor doggies. better to leave them home unless you can go out of your way to find them a wide open space where they won't bother others.

Thank all the other dog owners whose pups enjoyed their sand time to the detriment of the community.

Sorry we took steps to make sure that vacations on pristine beaches did not involve dog crap and uncontrolled animals everywhere.

 

[Elephant Child]

No dogs without permits is for the good of the beach. Very disgusting to have grand child dig up a turd while playing in sand. I feel the same way about cars on beach without permits. There are reasons for the rules. Surprised at Kurt's reply.

Yea, and this is the one I am thinking about visiting. You spend all kinds of time and money begging people to come there and then have this. if it's such a big deal then ban them all.

 

[Douglas the Intrepid]

I don't see anyone begging people to come. This areas beauty and charm speaks for itself. We just wish to keep it beautiful.
