So, maybe your dog is better at catching Frisbees than tans. And maybe he can’t surf like that bulldog did in a YouTube video you watched one time. That doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy a trip to the beach, though. We found 10 really cheap pet-friendly rentals on or right by the ocean. Since many beaches allow dogs and/or private access, they make a great setting for a vacation spent alongside your furry companion.

Long walks along the shore, plenty of room to play fetch, and a view your pooch will most certainly drool over…here are our favorite pet-friendly beach rentals of the day!
