Pet-friendly beaches and Beach Safety Tips

La Union boasts some of the best, pet-friendly beaches and sunsets in the Philippines. Watch your dog have fun digging in the sand or strolling by the shore at the beaches of Bauang, San Juan, Dalumpinas, Ili Norte, Baroro, Luna, and more! And as your doggo enjoys some time with Mother Nature, keep in mind some safety tips:

• Always supervise your pet

• Avoid walking on hot sand during midday. Visit early in the morning or near sunset when the sand is cooler

• Keep your dog on leash to prevent unwanted encounters

• Apply tick and flea prevention before outdoor adventures

• Bring poop bags and clean up after your pet so La Union stays pet-friendly

These small steps help ensure beaches remain pet-friendly for everyone.
