The best thing about being owned by a dog and living in Southern California? Going to the dog beach! John and I have been busy trying out all the dog beaches in LA and Orange County and we’ve definitely decided on the best one – Leo Carillo in Malibu. Since it’s in the northern part of Malibu, it’s never that busy, PLUS it’s situated in a cove, which is especially safe for the pups, especially if they are prone to being crazy runners.
