After nearly 20 years of living in Oregon, I finally discovered the charming coastal town of Gearhart, and I can’t believe what I’ve been missing! Nestled along the beautiful Oregon coast, Gearhart is not just a picturesque getaway, but also a haven for pet lovers like myself. Join me as I share my wonderful experience exploring this gem of a town, along with all the pet-friendly finds that made our trip unforgettable. Dog-Friendly Beaches Gearhart Beach: Enjoy miles of sandy shores where your dog can run off-leash and play in the surf. Always keep an eye on your pup and be respectful of other beachgoers.
