Our dog Lucy is absolutely beserk about the beach. She is used to swimming in the river at home but she LOVED surfing. She swam out for any ball anybody threw and beat all the city dogs to fetch it. We are taking her every morning while we're here. Sure she rolls in the sand and our truck is a... More

Great place for the dogs to play and not bother those who are not dog fans. My only problem is getting the dogs out of the water. :-)

This is one of my favorite beaches. People are very responsible for their pets--from being respectful that others may not have the interest in size or nature of pets. VERY CLEAN. It would be nice to have a little fenced area for disabled dogs or smaller dogs or larger dogs, who are training to be more sociable or have disabilities.... More

I don't have a dog but I visited the area while riding my bike. It is a great place to bring a dog to the beach without bothering the regular beach goers.

The dog beach is a lot of fun, for the most part all of the dogs & people are great, but it gets a little crazy during the weekend. The difficult part of going to the beach is the parking. There are only 2 metered parking lots on PCH for the dog beach, they're always crowded but if you sit... More

Jagger our goldendoodle puppy had a blast! Found out that parking is... More

We were staying at Bolsa Chica State beach and rode our bikes to the Dog Beach. We have been there a lot of times. It's nice beacause your dog can run and play with other dogs. You have to watch some dogs because they don't always like all the dogs but overall it's always a good time for us.
