Dogs Go Wild on This Beach in San Diego, CA
If you are anywhere near Southern California and your
dog loves to run leash-free AND loves the beach, he or she needs to
visit Dog Beach in Ocean Beach, California. Located near San Diego,
this is one of the largest dog beaches in the United States. It offers
38 acres of sand, and every week, the beach is visited by thousands
of happy water loving dogs. Dogs are allowed to run off leash at this
beach anytime during the day. Owners are required to pick up after their
dogs and can face heavy fines if they do not comply. If your pooch gets
way too messy while having fun at the beach, there is a self-serve dog
wash just 2 blocks away. Dog Beach Dog Wash is open seven days a week,
from 7am until 9pm. They also sell toys and doggie treats. To get to
Dog Beach, take Hwy 8 West until it ends and then it becomes Sunset
Cliffs Blvd. Then make a right turn onto Point Loma Blvd and follow
the signs to Ocean Beach's Dog Beach.
