   We have a "dog beach" here. At Arroyo Burro Beach County Park, the area   
   to the right of the parking lot is reserved for people. There is a   
   restaurant, a grassy picnic area and a beach where dogs must be on   
   leash. To the other side, there is about a mile of beach allowing   
   offf-leash dogs. The parking lot has about 12 trash cans marked as   
   dedicated to "Animal Waste".   
      
   It is a great place for dogs to run a little wild. Confined between   
   the Pacific Ocean and a sandstone cliff. My late beagle often tried to   
   scale the cliff, and once fell on a rock from 15 feet up. Broke a rib,   
   and was forever sore in that area if you picked her up and did not   
   remember that. But that did not keep her from trying again in the same   
   spot later.   
      
   The downside of that beach, is that there is a natural oil seep in the   
   ocean and little lumps of tar the size of a BB pellet often mix in the   
   sand, so you need a bottle of baby oil handy to clean feet, paws and dog   
   fur to avaid getting tar on your car seats.
