| Beach Anyone? I did a search, but was unable to find anything. Does anyone take their yorkie to the beach? I live in Miami, and would love to take my Garrett to the beach with the kids. Can I get some feedback and survival tips please. |

| I think it would depend on the beach you go to...Miami beaches are pretty busy, aren't they? I would be afraid someone might steal my baby! Also, if dogs are allowed, then you might possibly run into one that was big and not so friendly towards your little one. There was a post on here recently about someone whose little one got attacked by other large dogs (unleashed and uncontrolled) and the little one was killed. I'm sure there are other opinions....I am only speaking for me and my little Sassy. I just couldn't take the chance. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | We routinely vacation down on the outer banks. Ramsey and Reese have both joined us...on the beach. We have a canopy that we put up...and lots of ice water. Both of them love to dig a hole in the sand....this summer baby Reggie will be joining us. Yours will love it....I guarantee it. Have fun!!

| We take Britney and Brooklyn with us every year to Dewey Beach, DE. It's great. They love it. If you do take your dog, make sure you check out the rules and regulation of that particular beach. Some beaches only allow dogs during certain hours and/or require a license.

| We live on the shoreline of Lake Michigan (fresh water, I have never been to an ocean beach). There are some places around here that I can take them to private shorelines. There are too many large dogs on the dog beach here that run loose. They just love the water and the sand. I love to watch them experience the first time in the sand, it's about as much fun as the first time in the snow.

| We go to the beach all the time. We just dont stay as long if it is hot hot. We take pleny of water and an umbrella to keep out of the direct sun. There is doggy sunscreen and sunglasses available. The sunscreen is good if they get wet. I take snacks too. she is always so wiped out after the beach! |

| The closest beach here doesn't allow dogs, I wish it did, I know Slade would probably love it. Be sure to check on any beach you take your dog to, they all seem to have different rules. Some allow dogs on leash at any time. Some allow dogs off leash when its off season, etc.

| I found this for you Miami, South Beach, Florida, Beaches ,Caribbean, Pet Tips, Parks that allow Dogs My parents live in Sarasota and we went to a doggy beach in Dec. in Venice, but next time we will be going to a beach in Sarasota that a member on YT told me about. The biggest issue for us, were all the big dogs - no one was aggressive, but some rushed my dogs. Keep your eyes on your dog at all times, if you have more than one, get someone else to walk the shore with you, because my 2 didn't always want to stay together. Fresh water is a good idea. I came with bags, etc. although they were there to be found too Here they were in Venice:

| We Love the Beach All 3 of mine love the Beach......but only one, Artie will swim, surf, ride a boogie board and float on an air mattress with me. Abigail and Tiffany just like to sniff around for dead stinky things and dig alot of holes all over the place. I only take them when it's a Bath Day, luckily we live across the street. I used to live in Orlando, so I used to take Artie to "CoCo Beach" and "Daytona Beach", now we live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. You should make sure you bring plenty of water and an umbrella so your Baby has some shade to stay cool. Have Fun! |
