So Cal Corgi Beach Day

I am so glad that my friends and I were able to go to the Spring 2015 So Cal Corgi Beach Day because it was so much fun! The ones since then seem like they were way too crowded, so I am glad we got to go before it got to be too much. It was crowded, definitely, but we were still able to walk around and have a fun time. This one took place at the Huntington Dog Beach, which I did not even know existed before this event. It is so nice that the dogs can be off-​leash on this beach! I was in heaven from the moment I arrived because SO MANY CORGI BUTTS!!! Love love love!
I parked a few blocks away but it was unlimited free street parking so that is always a plus. There is metered street parking closer to the beach but I do not recall what the time limit was. My friends and I signed in so that the organisers could know how many people and corgis showed up, and then we walked around to see all the corgis and have fun by the water.
My friend brought blankets to sit on, but we did not think to bring umbrellas! While I was busy exploring the sights with the one corgi of our group, Cola, the other two dogs in our group betrayed us by constantly leaving our group to go to people who had umbrellas. But I guess we can’t blame them since it was pretty hot and sunny. So my advice would be to bring blankets AND an umbrella to this so that your dog can have some shade to chill in.
While the event did seem a bit unorganised at times, I feel like it can’t be helped when you are dealing with so many people and so many dogs in an open space like this. They did pull off a fun costume contest and there were several opportunities to take pictures with celebrity corgis. Finally they got us all together to take the group picture… but there were hundreds of corgis and even more people so it was pretty much impossible to fit us into one picture. We all had a lot of fun though and I would recommend checking these out if you love corgis!

Corgi Beach Day is just a feel-​good time. Who doesn’t enjoy watching those corgi buts frolic around in the waves and sand? Since we first started bringing our corgi, they’ve really beefed up the event. The most recent sponsor was Beyond Pet Food, who were donating 1 lb of food to Queen’s Best Stumpy Dog Rescue for everyone who tagged them in a photo. They also have a kissing booth with famous corgis, costume and talent contests, apparel for purchase and more. Be sure to check-​in your corgi so that they get an accurate count.
Everyone who comes to this event are so nice and friendly. Feel free to bring other dogs or even come without a dog! Everyone is welcome. This wonderful day occurs 4 times a year so follow their Facebook page to stay updated.

So much fun, I highly recommend this event if you like seeing hundreds of corgies and other dogs (some in costume) frolicking around the beach. They are just too cute!!! The corgi limbo contest was the best!
They have plenty of free doggie treats/​samples and water for doggies, but humans be forewarned — bring your own water!

Best day ever! Corgis galore and fun to spare. If you are in need of a Corgi fix this is the event for you. There’s something so uplifting about a bunch of happy go lucky Corgis running around the beach with their proud families. And those Corgi butts… Well what can I say? They are legendary for a reason! Don’t miss the next Corgi Beach Day! There are fun events like the talent and costume contests! And our Corgi Teddy loves running around and checking out all his Corgi friends. This is our third time attending the event, and we plan to party at the next one! Corgis are a friendly sort, so all breeds are welcome to join the fun! See you at the next one!

I’ve never seen so many corgis in my life! It was so fun to see all of them running around and swimming in the water. Other dogs were welcome too and it was adorable seeing them play around with each other. I am 100% going again next year!

(First time attendee) Extreme corgi nation The event went from 10am — 2pm. My group and I went to the event and only stayed for an hour but was able to see more than enough corgis in an hour than we’d ever see in a lifetime lol Will definitely attend the next event :)))

If you’re an Ass man, you’ll love Corgis.
If you like multiple Corgis (oh wait, wouldn’t that be just called… Corgi?)
then, you’ll love SoCal Corgi Beach Day. And for those of you who missed this, don’t fret, it’s coming again. Though, the location and time has changed to Long Beach and on July 25, 2015. You can see the details on the facebook page.
These wonderful friends are probably my 2^nd favorite dogs next to Shiba Inu. Fun and friendly, and kids approved. See coverage from OC Register here:
The beach day, we were just passing by, but I did notice the Southbound lane on PCH being quite packed after 1pm. Hope to see you guys at the July 25^th event!

I went with my mom who is obsessed with Corgis and we had a BLAST! We were so overjoyed watching all the pups on the beach, and everyone was so friendly and let us hold their dogs and play with them! I cant wait for the next one!

Welcome to my every day life! x’s 500…
I am the proud owner of Bentley, my 6.5 yr old tri-​color Cardigan Welsh Corgi.
We have been coming to the «SoCal Corgi Beach Day» meets since the second or third meet. so that’s been several meets so far.
He has a blast all the time, although he’s a little apprehensive/​anti-​social when it comes to other dogs… he loves the humans more!
This past meet was awesome, like always, but more crowded? It just seemed more hectic this past time around. Seems like a lot more humans this time compared to last year’s meet which had a pretty even ratio of human-​to-​corgi. It took us forever to drive down PCH with all the traffic, so we got there a little late. We missed the group picture, which I wish was done closer to 1PM so it gives people time to get down there after all the traffic. Anywho. Bentley had tons of fun playing in the sand and surf.
If anybody goes to the future meets and sees a tri-​color (black, white, brown) Corgi with a black and white-​tipped tail and a black diamond on top of his head… say hi! It’s Bentley!

Ahhhh! A whole beach filled with corgis is like a dream come true! Me and my boyfriend just recently came here on April 11, 2015 and there were literally over 500 corgis! I’m a huge animal lover, so anything that has to do with a pool full of dogs, I’m there!
There’s corgis all dressed up in costumes, cute clothes, running around in the water like there’s no tomorrow. There’s just a whole bunch of cuteness going around on corgi beach day! I got to see corgis that I didn’t even know existed. They come in all different mixtures of colors (brown, black, white, black & white, brown & white), it was just so adorable to see their cute stubby legs walking around on the beach.
There are so many corgi owners and it’s nice to see how everyone gathers together for their dogs to have fun. We brought our corgi, Tubby and our small yorkie, Boomer to the beach and he was having more fun than Tubby was! Boomer was messing around with all the dogs because he’s still a puppy, but I’m glad our babies got to interact with other doggies since they’re always cooped up at home :(I will definitely come back whenever there is a next one! This is a great chance to bring your dogs (not just corgis) to have fun, exert some energy & to swim in the water!
They also have places where you can have your dog drink water, but it’s best if you bring your own bowl and water just in case. It’s a lot easier that way. Being treats too to share with other dogs :)

Love Love Love Corgi Beach Day! Look forward to it. Great meet and greet and it’s not just for Corgis! I’ve gone to about a half dozen of them and can’t wait till the next one in July

How can you not give this day 5 stars??? This starts at 11am and ends at 3pm but I got there around 12:30pm. Parking on the beach can be tough and there is tons of traffic so just park a few blocks in the residential area and walk it out. The closer spots are metered but we parked far enough that it was free. When we walked toward the tent, a lot of dogs were walking home since they were so tired. Derp. Lucky for us a lot remained, chilling on the beach with the owners or running in the water. There are so many photo ops with these fat asses. I was seriously searching for the cutest and fattest corgi out there but there were so many to choose from. My heart exploded from all the cuteness, I couldnt even. At 1pm, there was a friggin limbo competition for the corgs. Hahahha emoji with the laughing tears. I took so many photos with litto doggies but unfortunately there wasnt a huge group of doggies you could just bombard and take a photo opp. I love this. I am so lucky I was in SoCal the day this happened hehe

ERHMAHGERD I LOVE ME SOME CORGIS.
I don’t have a corgi of my own (not yet, at least!), so I come here with my boyfriend so we can corgi watch and take photos of them. Wow, that just sounded so creepy, but you know what I mean.
All the owners and corgis are friendly, so you can just come up to them and ask about their corgi and what not.
One thing to be careful of is to keep an eye out for your things (such as backpacks or coolers on the ground). Sometimes, a corgi will sneak right by to mark his/​her territory!
You should definitely bring a camera, towels, umbrella (if you’ve got one), and sunscreen.
As for parking, this is Huntington Beach, and there’s metered parking everywhere. Here, I don’t even bother to try to find free parking, and just try to find a free meter closest to my destination.

If you ever wanted to play with Corgis this is the time to go!
Owners and corgis are all very friendly! Just be polite and if you bring treats, make sure to ask the owner if it’s ok to feed them!
Free street parking if you take the time to look!
Bring:
Camera
Sunscreen
beach Umbrella
Chairs
towels

We were dog-​sitting while his daddy & mommy partied at Coachella.
Good thing it was the Spring Corgi beach day at Huntington Beach!
Gave us all a great outlet to socialize and be active.
My husband let our Corgi off the leash and got tuckered out chasing after him as he ran around in the packs.
I just wandered around chatting with people and petting their dogs.
TIP– Keep an eye out for the rascals who sneak up and mark their territory on your stuff and legs.
From what I heard, over 400 Corgis had checked in on Facebook!
We stayed for the first two hours and the crowd was growing by the minute.
As we were leaving, many more were arriving.
Surfer dude– «What’s with all the stumpy dogs?»
Corgi Nation. That’s what!
Our «grandson» had a great time and so did we.

Second time here and was in corgi heaven!!! Loved every minute I was there! Or should I say it was very CORGIasmic? Hehe.
I don’t have a corgi. I did feel a little awkward when owners asked me where mine was.
The second event didn’t have as much corgis as before but it was still eventful. I saw more doggies in their Halloween costumes!
: PARKING :
Look for free street parking
: TIPS :
— Take lots of pictures
— If you don’t have a costume for your dog then a handkerchief around his/​her neck will do (they all look alike)
— bring sunscreen and stay hydrated
— bring a beach towel to chill on and the corgis will stop by to say hi
— go say hi to pickles, the corgi, who host this event!
— take more pictures

BEST DAY EVER!!!
I do not have a corgi but am obsessed with them so this was a dream come true! All the corgis and owners were so so friendly and some of the corgis even had adorable costumes. I got some awesome pictures and walked away very happy.

OMG OMG Corgis EVERYWHEERRRRREEEE!!!
So cuteeeeeeeeee!!!
I don’t have a dog but came just to play with all the corgi’s. All the oorgi’s were so cute and friendly.
Now I really want a corgi!

CORGIS EVERYWHERE!!!
What an awesome event. I love corgis but don’t have one. I walked around and played with all these friendly corgis. It really can’t get much better! Even parking wasn’t that much of an issue over here.
