Recentl we've seen a few of our Cockapoo puppies find their homes in Sarnia, Ontario. A hidden gem in Southwestern Ontario, that boasts beautiful waterfronts, charming parks, and an abundance of outdoor activities. I was reminded of walking the Sarnia beach a few years ago and thought how these cockapoo puppies would walk the same beach, enjoy the same beautiful sunset, and listen to these waves roll in from Lake Huron. In the summer it's beautiful to walk the beach and watch the boats out on the water. Winters...well walking the beach with your cockapoo can be a little chilly at the wind comes in over Lake Huron.
The Call of the Beach
Sarnia’s stunning beaches are more than just a place to relax; they offer countless opportunities to explore and have fun. You will find this is the ideal place to walk your cockapoo, live and laugh together. Our first destination is the popular Canatara Park, known for its dog-friendly areas, which attracts locals and visitors alike.
Canatara Park is a popular stop while you are in Sarnia. A dog-friendly park, it has expansive grassy fields, beach access, and a designated leash-free zone. This means our puppy can freely socialize with other dogs while we soak in the breathtaking views of Lake Huron. Did you know that the beach area has consistently been rated four out of five stars for its cleanliness and amenities? That makes it an ideal spot to spend our summer days!
