Humboldt's Best Spots for Dogs: Beaches, Forests, and a Well-Earned Treat

"Humboldt County offers dog owners a lineup of unique places to explore, from off-leash beach time at Moonstone and Centerville Beach to shaded, leashed walks through the Arcata Community Forest. Local fenced dog parks in Eureka, Fortuna, and McKinleyville round out the everyday options, while the growing Sniffspot trend gives owners of reactive or shy dogs access to private, bookable yards around the county. Cap the day with a visit to Fin-N-Feather in Eureka, where a bakery turns out hand-dipped treats and personalized birthday cakes — proof that Humboldt is the best place for Fido to go wild!"
