Arroyo Burro Beach, also known as Hendry's Beach by locals, has a reputation as a "dog beach", and is a popular location for dog owners to walk their pets off leash, though Arroyo Burro itself is actually on-leash (the off-leash area is just east below the Wilcox Property Douglas Family Preserve). Arrive early to secure a parking spot! This is a favorite place of ours to walk in the mornings with a cup of coffee.

Still don't know what to call this massive rock on Hendry's Beach. I've heard it called Proposal Rock before, but I'm not sure that's official! This is located a little north up the coast from Hendry's Beach and can make for some cool photos.
