Calling all cuddly corgis and beautiful, black Labradors, Del Mar, California is pleased to expand a variety of tail-wagging activities to accommodate visitors traveling with their furry friends this summer and beyond.
From doggy dining, to bark-friendly boutiques, the coastal community is opening its arms to all the fidos and lassies in the area.
Ladies can begin with a stroll to the upscale women’s fashion boutique, White House Black Market, located at the Del Mar Plaza. The store welcomes dogs of all sizes and breeds, so shoppers can browse the racks with their pets by their sides. White House Black Market also puts out fresh water and treats for their four-legged friends.
For lunch, head over to Smashburger, where you can order a “Fido Style” burger off the Secret Menu for your pup. The dog-friendly patty is made with an unseasoned 1/4 pound, 100% fresh, never frozen, certified Angus beef. It is served in convenient, bite-sized pieces on a Fido-friendly plate. To order the item, simply request a Smashburger, “Fido Style,” at the price of $2. Dogs and their owners can enjoy their meals together on the restaurant’s patio. Looking for more fare, check out Zel’s Del Mar, a few blocks south, as they lure pets to their patio with complimentary cookies and bones from nearby Dexter’s Deli, a gourmet pet store.
Give your dog some time to play at Del Mar’s dog beach or Del Mar’s Shores Park, where your pet can play without the confines of a leash (some restrictions).
For those who love to unwind with a glass of wine, head to Il Fornaio’s Enoteca, a wine bar overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The pet-friendly patio offers Happy Hour specials and food services for patrons, plus shade and water for pets.
And if you make a weekend of it, Hotel Indigo opens its doors for all creatures, great or small. Furry family members can feel as pampered as their parents at this ocean-view boutique hotel.
