Tourism Observations

The beach? Absolutely packed!!! Saw a wonderful white dog that self entertained, chasing birds and swimming. Seriously swimming. Went out to check a swimmer passing by. What a good guy.

As a dog owner, I’m sorry to read this part of your posting. Dogs ought not to be “harassing” wildlife. That is the kind of irresponsible dog owner behaviour that creates animosity toward dog owners. The other aspect is the poop on the beach.

I don’t suggest my dog is never off-leash. In fact, he is off-leash during every morning walk and during every evening beach walk. As soon as there is wildlife around, he is back on his leash. There are other dogs on the beach, some with people and some apparently on their own. Not only am I picking up my own dog’s poop, I’m picking up other dogs’ poop as well.

I hope we dog owners will behave responsibly so that we don’t end up with more initiatives for blue flag beaches.
