Huntington Dog Beach is funded solely through private donations; no public financing is used. Our Board of Directors serve as volunteers; while we do have several paid personnel (database management, financial management, etc.), all work on a part-time basis. Approximately 90% of all donations go toward maintaining Dog Beach, providing doggie bags, signage (as required by the city), etc.
Following these rules while visiting Huntington Dog Beach will help to ensure that your day is happy and enjoyable for both you and your dog:

- Maintain control of your dog at all times.

- Please pick up after your dog and dispose of waste in the trash cans.

- Under the existing city ordinance, 13.08.070, dogs must remain leashed. For the past several years; however, only unleashed, potentially dangerous dogs have been cited or removed.

- If your dog is new to Dog Beach, take it slow. Keep them on their leash until you can be sure of how they will react to the sand, sea, and especially other dogs and people.

- If your dog has a history of being aggressive toward other dogs or people, Dog Beach may not be the best place for him/her.

- Most important rule of all - HAVE FUN!
