SoCal Corgi Beach Day has officially captured the imagination of Corgi lovers on the West Coast. The meet-up at Huntington Beach started in 2012, with just 12 dogs. Happy dogs, to be sure, but just 12 of them — 12 dogs looking at one another and thinking, “Hey, you look familiar. Do I know you?”
This weekend, however, it was clear that Corgiland has become a bonafide thing and might take over the entire coastline if we’re not careful. A total of 634 Corgis checked into the event — not to mention all the non-Corgi hangers-on — which spread out over a mile of coastline. The SoCal Corgi Beach Day Facebook page was positively giddy, the #SoCalCorgiBeachDay hashtag trended on Twitter, and every news outlet sent their reporters to go spelunking for photos of the sunning Corgis on social media.
Here are some of the ones we found, via Instagram. Get ready for a lot of Corgis:
