  Awsome beach!

  Go tworads tower 16 and there you'll find lots of families with dogs. Under the bridge the water runs off into a river. Where the dogs can swim and its not choppy water.

  Dog ARE allowed on the beach!

  On the south end of the campground, south of Tower 16, dogs ARE allowed on the beach on leashes. It is a relatively small area, but my dog loves to run in the shallow surf!

  Great place . . . but no dogs allowed on beach

  March 2018 . . . wanted to take my beloved Lab to the beach sadly, no dogs allowed on the beach.

  This is true for Carlsbad CA too.

  Cardiff beach vs Campgrounds

  Dogs are allowed on the beach (on leash) only on south side of jetty. Many here are confusing sides of the beach. Campground side does not allow dogs on beach. Go across the inlet, or jetty and dogs are welcome. The side with the restaurants all the way south to State parking lot with restrooms.

  no dogs on beach

  The San Elijo State Beach does not allow dogs on beach like the info says here on this page. They are only allowed at campsites and on the main road.

We dug up a dog picture at San Elijo State Beach.
