The sights and sounds of a serene beachscape, the thrill of riding a horse through its natural environment… you might not think of combining the two, but think again! Horseback riding on the beach isn’t just possible, it’s a popular experience for water lovers and adventurers of all sorts.
In today’s blog, we’re looking at the basics behind this one-of-a-kind activity—and some of the best places to enjoy it.

While these spots make for unique photo opportunities and are certainly worth visiting, the horses you’ll find here (wild ones) are not the same ones you’ll be riding on your vacation. The latter are horses who live and are cared for at stables by the beach.
They are the same domestic horses you’d find at any ranch across the country… but instead of riding through grass and nature trails, you’ll be able to ride on sandy shores and splash about in the water on horseback—and in our book, that’s something truly special!
