Dogs are allowed at Huntington Dog Beach located about a mile northwest up the beach from the pier and our Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel base camp.
We've never been to Huntington Beach before and with fog-friendly Kimpton Hotels never letting us down, decided to check it out. Also gives us to meet up with a business associate, Tim Smith, and his family. His “strategy” business is located in Huntington Beach

FitBit totals = 5.71 miles, 110 AEG (11 floors)
On the road by 9am stopped for lunch at the Blythe CA Burger King. Our I-10 route was “challenged” by multiple construction delays leading us to agree that our return home route will be via I-8! Arrived at our "dog friendly" base-camp at the Shorebreak Kimpton Hotel  https://www.shorebreakhotel.com (I'm becoming partial to this eclectic collection of hotels, a nice alternative to my global business choice of Marriott Hotels...) located by the pier and on the waterfront in Huntington Beach CA. After checking into waterfront view room 429 we were joined by the Smith family, Tim, Tricia, and Garrett for dinner in the dog friendly restaurant located in our hotel https://www.shorebreakhotel.com/hunting ... t/zimzala/
Finished up the day with a brisk stroll along the pier - nice! [ Huntington Beach Pier ]
