It's been a while since I riled things up by writing about dog beaches.

But yesterday someone left this comment to a post I made a few months ago about the secret dog beach, which, as you know, can be found by parking next to the club house at the Trump Golf course in Rancho Palos Verdes and walking down the trail.

This letter accomlishes two things: It dredges up one of my favorite blogging topics and it says nice things about me!

 You people are so selfish with your beaches! How is he destroying a community?! It seems to me he is bringing it together! You people probably think because someone who comes up there and isn't wearing designer clothes and sunglasses isn't worthy of being there! Thank you Josh Grossberg! These annoying, self centered PV people who think that just because they have money that they should be the only ones allowed up there at that beach. I'm sorry but my dog loves to run and play just the same as yours. So Kudos to you Josh! You are not ruining this beach for anybody except self centered snobs. As a matter of fact, I am going to tell everyone I know who has a dog to come down there!

That's the spirit! But let me caution my readers that taking dogs off leash at the beach is illegal. And always be courteous and clean up after your dog.

Fall is coming, which is a great time of the year to take your dog for a hike and a romp on the sand. I'll write more about dog beaches soon. 

I stirred a bit of controversy last month when I wrote a post about a secluded beach in Rancho Palos Verdes where people often take their dogs.

Some bozo who lives a beach away was mad at me for ruining his privacy. I guess his own private beach isn't enough.

Some dog owners were upset that I even mentioned the beach, even though I never said exactly where it was.

Well, here's exactly where it is: Go to the Trump National Golf Course at 1 Ocean Trails Drive. There's public parking next to the club house.

In fact, the clever leaders of RPV mandated that parts of the course remain public. So you can walk through there any time you want. Just stay in the public part and you'll be fine.

This is from the city's Web site:

Founders Park was formally accepted by the City on January 17, 2006 and named in honor of the City's founders who led the effort to incorporate the City of Rancho Palos Verdes more than 30 years ago.  This 5.5-acre parcel is located adjacent to the Trump National Clubhouse and offers patrons an attractive sight with breath-taking ocean views, picnic tables, a gazebo, nearby restrooms, coastal access and adjacent walking and biking trails.  Dogs must be on a leash.

Walk around until you see a small trail that leads away from the manicured golf course. There are trails on both sides of the park, but the one on the north side is a more difficult climb.

Follow the trails down and you'll get to the beach.

And that's that. Make sure your dog stays on a leash. People were getting tickets a few weeks ago, even though nobody goes down there except for hikers and dog people. It's a stinky, rock-strewn beach and not really a good place to go sun bathing.

More on dog beaches coming later this week.
