April, 2011 Trip To Cambria, CA |
This year's choice was the Best Western, right along the ocean front. The hotel was reputed to be dog friendly, and dog friendly rooms can be......not so people friendly. This one was not bad at all. At least this time around the shower wasn't in the middle of the room and the toilet paper holder didn't eject the rolls just out of reach. Still alive in there? At least one of us is getting a good night's sleep. The coast line is not as sandy as other beaches but there are a lot of tide pools. The sandy area to the north is off limits to dogs, of course. There are walking paths all along the coast. Someone would just love to get off lead. Rabbits and squirrels everywhere! This was a common sight........ Trying to get one of the rodents to pose for pictures. It can get hazy in the late afternoon. Sunset Looking south towards Pismo Beach. There is a dog friendly beach further north. It also is a great place to wind surf (Whoops, I stand corrected. According to Jeff, the correct term is Kite Boarding.) This guy is getting himself hooked up. He waits for the wind to catch the sail. And off he goes. They can really move. Unfortunately, Max the standard poodle has no fear of the ocean and found that chasing kite boarders was great fun. He would have had no issues at all with following the kite boarders out to see. We had to keep him hooked up. It would be rather ironic having a kite boarder rescue a poodle in distress whose new mission in life was to capture said kite boarder. |
