Rutherford Beach

If you find yourself longing for a day of seaside fun, a trip to Rutherford Beach might be just what the dog-tor ordered! One of several Gulf Coast beaches, Rutherford Beach gets a two paw salute from people and their pooches alike. Situated near the Mermentau River, this seaside getaway is the pawrfect spot if you love to canoe and kayak. You can take the plunge and go for a swim too, but be careful as the current can be very strong when the wind is high. 

Fido can join you on the sand and in the surf on this dog-friednly beach. But just to keep the local paw-lice happy, be sure to pack a leash and use it as Louisiana observes strict leash laws. 

Rutherford Beach offers more than just pawsome water activities for you to enjoy. Its white sand shores are pawsitively awesome for relaxing strolls with your best canine pal in tow. Why not stop and collect some unique seashells as a memento of your woofderful day at the beach? There is also lots of wildlife that makes Rutherford Beach its home. 

If fishing is your cup of tea, you've come to the right place. You can hit the open water and throw in a line in the hopes of catching your lunch. But just in case, you might want to pack a "lunch backup plan" as Rutherford Beach does not have a snack shop nearby. Be sure to include some bottled water, clean up bags, and a snack for Fido too, or you might find him begging to share your lunch! There are no bathrooms available for public use at Rutherford Beach. 

Craving a quiet day by the sea? Rutherford Beach's tranquil, rustic atmosphere just might fit the bill. Plan a trip to visit this pawrific spot today. You'll have a doggone good time!
