Electric Avenue Median Park

Gum Grove Park is a ten-acre oasis that is one of the area's largest and greatest dog parks. It is completely enclosed, with water and dog bags available at the Avalon entrance. There are two parking spaces for park visitors: the main entrance is on Avalon, and the second, smaller entry is off of Seal Beach Blvd on Herone Pointe. This park features an old closed main road running through it at the bottom, as well as many great trails branching off on the sloping hill above. The Hellman Trail, which is about a quarter mile north of the trailhead, is well worth a trek. Keep your dog on a leash at all times, as municipal leash rules are always in effect.

Private 1-hour tours of Alamitos Bay and the lovely Naples Islands are available from Gondola Getaway. They have gondolas that can accommodate up to 14 people. Bring your own drinks and munchies; they'll take care of the corkage and offer buckets, ice, and glasses as needed. Dogs must be on a leash. From 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., every day.

Belmont Shores is a pet-friendly neighborhood with plenty of water bowls outside for thirsty dogs.

Pets are welcome at Huntington Harbor Boat Rentals. This is an excellent spot to rent duffy boats, stand-up paddle boards, and kayaks in OC, and it's conveniently located in Sunset Beach. On a handful of their rentals, leashed dogs are permitted.
