The waters are way too cold to swim in.
There are horses and driving allowed on the beach. Sunshine is
at a premium. This sounds like a place to bring a dog to the
beach. And that is the story at Washington's Long
Island Peninsula, in the southwest corner of the state. Surrounded
by the Pacific Ocean, Columbia River and Willapa Bay, this i28-mile
strecth of sand is where Lewis and Clark's epic journey came
to an end.
These uncrowded Pacific Coast beaches
are some of the dog-friendliest in America for a vacation - even
Olympic National Park, which bans dogs from almost all of its
632,324 acres, opens some of its remote coastal beaches to dogs.
Miles of wide open sand and county officials who promise not
to enforce leash laws on the beach providing your dog is well-behaved.
Now that is a deal all dog owners can live with!
