Final Thoughts
You really can’t beat the views in and around Vancouver, and what better way to enjoy the scenery than unwinding at a beach with your dog!
It’s quite important that you follow the rules – know what beaches allow dogs and when to put the leash on. Fines can be pretty hefty if you get caught breaking any of the city’s rules.
Remember to bring everything you need for a day out with your best friend, which means poop bags are essential, as are water, toys, snacks, and a leash. This way, you’ll both enjoy a beautiful and stress-free day at the beach!
