- Where dogs walk
- the quiet blocks a short walk from the pier
The pier and the main shopping blocks fill up on weekends. Practice polite waiting at a distance and give your dog a job, such as holding a toy, when crowds pass. A relaxed dog is easier to bring along on errands, and shopkeepers who see a calm dog on a mat are far more likely to welcome the next visit. Bring a folded towel to mark the spot and a few treats to reward each minute of quiet.
Hot sand and strong sun are rough on paws and noses. Walk early and rinse off the salt afterward. Read posted rules for dogs on beaches and in town, since policies vary. If you vacation here with a dog, rehearse the same calm routines at home first, so the first day away is not also the first day of learning.
Small condo buildings and low-rise apartments dominate, so neighborly manners count. A short course of lessons at home, commonly $100 to $200 each, can help with elevator, hallway and balcony habits.
