Buddy the Sand Shark: A High-Energy Beach Session at Radio Island

A Fetch-Fueled Beach Day with Buddy

Some dogs love treats, some love belly rubs—but Buddy? Buddy lives for the thrill of the chase, the splash of the ocean, and, of course, rolling in the sand until he's fully covered like a true "sand shark." This Australian Cattle Dog mix had an absolute blast during his photography session at Radio Island, one of the best dog-friendly beach spots in Beaufort, NC.

A True Water Dog

Buddy’s session wasn’t just about posing for the camera—it was all about action! He couldn’t resist launching himself into the water to retrieve his toy, proving that nothing—not even a handful of treats—could compete with a good splash session. The moment he lost sight of his dad, though? Game over. As a certified "daddy’s boy," he made sure dad was always in view before carrying on with the fun.

The Art of the Drool String

While many of the images from Buddy’s session showcase his athleticism and boundless energy, one particular shot stands out—the now-legendary drool string. It’s the kind of hilarious, once-in-a-lifetime capture that may not make it onto the living room wall, but it’s a perfect memory of his goofy, high-energy personality.

Why Radio Island is Perfect for Active Dogs

If you have a pup who loves fetch, swimming, and open sand to zoom around on, Radio Island is a must-visit. Located between Beaufort and Morehead City, this hidden gem offers calm waters, off-leash fun, and plenty of space for pups to play.
