Featured Activities on The People's Coast
Even if you can't teach an old dog new tricks, it doesn't mean you won't learn something new at this month's Learning Feast in Lincoln City. Treat Fido to the "Calling All Canines" Package at the Inn at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City. And know that there are still plenty of glass balls hidden in Gold Beach. Your dachshund will wonder what are you've been wading for.
Featured Offers on The People's Coast
If all the activity and fresh air leaves you feeling dog tired, curl up in front of a cozy fireplace at the pet friendly Edgewater Cottages in Waldport. Shore Pine Vacation Rentals in Pacific City is offering a "Man's Best Friend Package" that includes gift baskets and squeaky toys. And you'd have to be Goofy to turn your nose up at a cottage, cabin or yurt at Loon Lake Lodge, where pets stay free.
You don't have to be a Search & Rescue dog to find all the great lodging offers between Lincoln City and Yachats, just visit the Discounts & Specials page on the Central Oregon Coast Association website.

PETS ON THE BEACH
There are three considerations to take into account when you walk your pet on Oregon beaches.
1. Beaches that are within the boundaries of an Oregon state park must have all pets on a leash not more than six feet long and kept under physical control at all times. (OAR 736-010-0030)
2. If you are on a beach outside of the boundaries of an Oregon state park, Ocean Shore rules apply. Ocean Shore OAR 736-21-0070 states "the owner of any dog, cat, or other animal brought into or kept in the ocean shore recreation area shall be responsible for the animal's behavior and physical control while in the ocean shore recreation area." Leashes are not specifically required, but physical control must be maintained.
3. Where beaches have been designated Western Snowy Plover nesting sites or wildlife habitat areas, all beach pedestrians must stay on the wet sand and all pets must remain on a six foot leash and be kept under physical control. Pet control must be maintained in all wildlife habitat areas and apply to both Oregon State Park and Ocean Shore areas. Designated areas are well signed to warn beach visitors of wildlife habitat areas.
If your pooches do their business on the beach or pathway, make it your business to pick up after them, and leave no unpleasant discoveries afoot for your fellow explorers.
