Carmel Beach is one of California\u2019s few leash-free beaches, where these lucky dogs run the beach (literally).<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all to say nothing of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carmelcalifornia.com\/index.cfm\/photoalbum_57.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fountain of Woof<\/a>.

Here you&#8217;re also likely to pal around with Betty White or Barbara Eden (of &#8220;I Dream of Jeannie&#8221; fame), both animal lovers who frequent the hotel. And &#8220;mutt-tinis&#8221; are available at yappy hour too.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Directions:<\/strong> Because the public transportation services from San Francisco to Carmel do not allow dogs, it\u2019s best to drive.

The beginning of the route starts on the Ohlone Greenway, a trail that runs next to the BART tracks. Along the way, you\u2019ll find people observing wildlife while others check out the rotating collection of sculpture art along the trail. While the Albany Bulb is on flat ground, plan ahead as it can take four or five hours to walk the trails.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-8304 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dogs1.jpg\" alt=\"pet friendly vacations\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-8304 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dogs1.jpg\" alt=\"pet friendly vacations\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dogs1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dogs1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dogs1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/dogs1-25x25.jpg 25w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/noscript><strong>Doggie Bags: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/650\/things-to-do-on-solano-avenue-berkeley\/\">Solano Avenue<\/a> offers a wealth of restaurants that welcome four-legged friends.
