ITS Beach, Santa Cruz California, Dog Friendly

Its Beach is the common name used by locals for the main beach at Lighthouse Field State Beach, which is across from Lighthouse Field and, strangely enough, next to a lighthouse. Dogs off leash are permitted and the beach is known for its great waves, which break both on the beach and farther out. ITS is on West Cliff Drive, just north of the Lighthouse, and south of Columbia Street. There is limited parking

Avila Beach CA, Central Coast

Avila Beach, CA is a small coastal beach town hidden just a few miles of the 101 freeway. Since its more hidden, it's usually less crowed the local beaches like Morro Bay & Pismo Beach. Avila is located on the beautiful Central Coast of California equidistant from Los Angeles and San Francisco.

In the heart of downtown Avila you will find a half mile of beach split down the middle by the Avila Beach Pier. This is a family beach and is enjoyed by thousands of people and families every year. Fisherman’s Beach is the smallest of the beaches in Avila & Port San Luis Harbor and its called dog beach by the locals. No matter what time of day it is, you will more than likely find dogs running free through the surf. The Port San Luis Harbor District currently allows well behaved dogs to be off the leash anytime on this beach and Olde Port Beach. And just down the street is Pirates Cove.

Designed to both entertain and educate, the Sawdust Art Festival draws more than 200,000 visitors from across the country each year.

The Festival a...lso features demo booths such as glass blowing, complimentary hands-on art workshops, a children¹s art booth, refreshments from three restaurants and a saloon, live music and more.

The Sawdust Art Festival sets itself apart from Laguna Beach¹s other summer art festivals in that it is nonjuried, so it plays a vital role in supporting the careers of many local artists.
