California is Kind to Canines Updated 7-16-2005 |
Several ocean beaches allow pets on the beach and in the water. Restrictions may apply during certain hours of the day and these may vary according to the season. There is also a 'dog park' established for socialization and exercise. It is located on Laguna Canyon Road.
Santa Barbara, CA is an extremely dog friendly
city! We saw tons of happy humans & dogs frolicking off leash along Channel
Drive Beach (this beach may also have another name).
The beach is easy to find, as it is directly across the street from the Four
Seasons Biltmore Hotel on Channel Drive. Plenty of parking along the street,
and lots of loving dog owners to chat with! The views are beautiful and
there is a long stretch of beach for running, fetching, etc. Truly a great
place! If anyone is looking for a weekend getaway with their dogs, Santa
Barbara is definitely it! And.......your dogs are most welcome at the Four
Seasons Biltmore.
Enjoy!
(Thank you - Pamela P.)
This beach is located between Huntington and Bolsa Chica beaches. Dogs
can swim, run, play... There are signs that say that dogs must be on a leash,
but nobody actually keeps their dogs leashed. (Thank You - Rudy and Moxies's
mom)
Update - August 1998 Due to the actions of the Preservation
Society of Huntington Dog Beach, dogs may be off-leash in the water or
on the wet sand only. City lifeguards have and probably will issue
tickets in all other cases. Most all users of Dog Beach (I've never
heard it called Doggie Beach) follow the rules. In addition, no dogs are permitted on the Bolsa Chica state beach. (Thank You - S. Black)
Best Friend Dog Park (Huntington)
Best Friend Dog Park
is located adjacent to Central Park on
Edwards Street close to Talbert. Visit our Maps page
to get directions.
Established in June 1995, The park is separated into
two sections; we have a small dog section and a big dog section. This is to
accommodate dogs of all sizes. Amenities include fencing, benches, tables, handicap
access, poopbag dispensers, trees, parking, restrooms, water and trashcans.
The Park is also known for the infamous Doggy Walk of Fame (865 paw prints embedded
in concrete). The Doggy Walk was created in 1996 and earned $ 20,000 for the
Dog Park.

Costa Mesa Bark Park (Costa Mesa)
The COSTA MESA BARK PARK is a fully fenced, approximately two acre, piece of land designated by the City of Costa Mesa as a area where the public can take their dogs and legally allow them to run and play off-leash. It is the only area of the City of Costa Mesa where dogs are not required, by ordinance, to be on a leash. The BARK PARK was opened on October 15, 1994 and is located in the southeast corner of TeWinkle Park (a public park in the City of Costa Mesa). Access is off Arlington Avenue between Junipero Drive and Newport Blvd..
Currently the BARK PARK is open every day, except Tuesdays, from Dawn until Dusk. It is closed for inclement weather and spring and fall maintenance (4 days each, see calendar).
Pets are treated with respect in Carmel. There is even a pet drinking fountain at the public restroom near the beach.
dogsbythebay.com Nice coverage of the Carmel area
This beach is located on the western part of Coronado City Beach. The surf is strong here.
This island is leash-free and very dog friendly. It is located in Mission Bay.
San Diego on the whole is very dog friendly. In addition to the beaches which allow dogs to swim, San Diego City beaches also allow leashed dogs on the beach from 6PM to 9AM. There are also several parks which allow off-leash dogs
Dogs are allowed north of the north jetty in Imperial Beach, CA

| Martin's Beach: (Half Moon Bay) We Lost this one.. Please take Martin's Beach off your site. We no longer allow dogs and people visit your site and read that they are allowed and are very unhappy when they arrive and can't stay. We had to stop allowing them because we couldn't seem to get people to keep them leashed and to clean up after them. It is posts like this that forced us to finally change the rules on dogs. PLEASE take care of this ASAP!!

There is a dog-friendly bar in San Francisco. It's called Zietgiest (that's Spirit-of-the-Times in German) It's located on the corner of Valencia & Deboce Avenues on the edge of the Mission District in San Francisco. It features a private outdoor beergarden and sometimes the dogs outnumber the humans! (Thank You deborah smith)
Hey - a terrific place to take dogs in Atlanta is Piedmont Park. There's a new addition and it is a dog and dog lovers dream. Also, the Jimmy Carter Center is great. There is a place for the dogs to swim and it's doggie social hour - lots of dogs to play with. Decatur has some sort of dog thing (Decatur is a city right next to Atlanta) but I'm not sure exactly what it is. Details can be found in Atlanta Magazine. The hottest thing now is Doggie Day Care. You take your dog in the morning and pick them up after work, They have play time, rest time, walks and more play time! They just threw a birthday party for my dog. Canine Academy in Atlanta is highly recommended. $15 bucks a day is a bargain for how great the program is (you take them once a week). My dog DRAGS me to get there! Atlanta is a dog friendly city (in-town) Many businesses will allow you to come in with your dog and you will often see water for dogs outside businesses during festivals and the like. (Thank you. KKSCHULLER)
2 Acre fenced area for off leach dogs. 3 different
fenced areas, small dogs, large dogs and a dog run. Benches, water and
bags available.

Dogs are allowed in Jeckyl Campground. (Thank you - Kevin H.)
Very nice, much better than Chicago's doggie beach. (Thank you - April K.)
Evanston, Illinois has a wonderful dog beach, which is cleaner than most people beaches. It does cost about $40 for the year for the dog pass, but it's well worth it. (Thank You - Elizabeth)
Both are very nice and spacious and I have encountered friendly dogs and
friendly humans!!!
(Thank You - Beth)
We have had the best luck on the beaches at the Outer Banks. They seem to love dogs there. (Thank you - CindaRN.)
