Strand, honden en gezelligheid!

Dogtober is dé dag voor jou en je trouwe viervoeter! Vier samen met andere hondenliefhebbers een speciale dierendag aan zee, vol leuke activiteiten. Denk aan uitwaaien langs de branding, snuffelen, rennen en spelen met andere honden. Een dag vol kwispelende staarten, blije baasjes en zand tussen je tenen (of pootjes).

Are you also coming to enjoy a wonderful day at the beach with your dog? 

On Sunday, October 4, the beach transforms into a meeting place for dogs.

Celebrate Animal Day with your dog at the seaside

On Sunday, October 4, the beach at Julianadorp and Den Helder will transform into a cheerful meeting place for dogs and their owners. During Dogtober@Sea, you celebrate Animal Day exactly as it should be: outdoors, with your feet in the sand, and together with your faithful four-legged friend. Let the wind blow through your hair and enjoy the spaciousness of the North Sea coast.

Discovering together and making new friends

Running, sniffing, and making new friends

At Dogtober@Sea, it's all about discovering and having fun together. Walk along the surf, let your dog sniff around, and meet other dog lovers on the beach. Running, playing, or just taking a leisurely stroll: you set the pace. That way, an ordinary beach walk suddenly becomes a day to remember together.

A wonderful day at the coast from Den Helder. Here, the beach, the sea, and the city's maritime character come together naturally. Head out, breathe in the salty sea air, and enjoy the freedom you only find by the sea. Take advantage of this special Animal Day and experience something new together.
