href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/muwo\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Muir Woods<\/a> but were sad to find out that <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">John Muir hated dogs<\/span> the park didn&#8217;t allow pups.\u00a0 So we drove another five minutes down the road to beautiful Muir Beach and were not disappointed!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It&#8217;s a short two minute trail walk to the beach&#8211;the beach itself is expansive with lots of room for friends, families and doggies to play around.\u00a0 We saw some folks had put up tents to spend the whole day there and Kevin and I would love to go back and do the same some time.\u00a0 The water was a nice, cool temperature (not ice cold like the beaches in SF) and it was pretty shallow water for a good 40 feet or so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lisankevin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/IMG_1326.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium
