This past Saturday was one of the greatest days of the year for corgis (and corgi lovers) — SoCal Corgi Beach Day. This was the fifth year the incredibly adorable event, which included costume contests and doggie limbo, has been held on Huntington Beach in Southern California, and over 600 corgis were in attendance.
Even though it rained, everybody, dog and human alike, had the best time. I mean, who wouldn’t right? It’s cute corgis interacting with other cute corgis on the beach, wearing the most hilarious costumes. If I had been more aware of it, I would’ve rented a corgi just for the occasion. Bonus? Some of the proceeds from the event were donated to Queen’s Best Stumpy Dog Rescue.
We gathered the 20 most adorable photos of the event for your viewing pleasure. You’re welcome.
Corgchella
It’s essentially the dog version of Coachella, except instead of indie bands, they have dog treats in abundance.
Pirate corgi
Some, as you can see, get reeeaaaally into it.
Bikini corgi
This corgi won the swimsuit competition. OK, not really, but if there was one, she would have.
Sand nose
Needless to say, noses got sandy.
Taco corgi
Hey, it’s California. There had to be at least one taco corgi in attendance.
Wet pup
Sure it rained, but does it look like he minded?
Cuddles
When it rains, corgis get the best blanket cuddles.
The ostrich
Meanwhile, other corgis hid in the sand ostrich-style to escape the inclement weather.
Corgi kiss
Old friends reunited, and some new romances bloomed.
Corgi entourage
Lots came with their buddies, so they knew they’d always be in good company.
Meatballs
If this guy didn’t win the costume contest, there is no justice in the world.
Corgi purse/lifeguard
Since corgis are so compact, many owners had them in these great vests so they could easily take them from place to place.
Getting there
Corgis came from far and wide to be there on Saturday. Many drove several hours.
Nap time
While there were certainly exciting events, everyone likes to have a little down time on the beach too.
Corgi tricks
I don’t know why this balancing act is happening, but I love it.
Shark corgi
The rare corgi-shark even made an appearance.
The diver
This guy came prepared to do some serious snorkling.
Majestic
What’s more majestic than a short-legged little pup surveying all the land and sea?
Aaaand spent
Of course, by the end of the day, all the dogs were whipped and had to be carried home. Thankfully, many were still wearing their vests.
