Montaña de Oro State Park

Dogs are allowed at Montaña de Oro State Park, where stunning cliffs, beaches, coastal plains, streams, canyons, and hills dominate the landscape. Fido can join you at the pet-friendly picnic areas, campsites and park roads, but is not permitted to wander on the beaches or trails. The one beach that does allow dogs is Spooner’s Cove beach, where Islay Creek empties into the Pacific Ocean. Remember to keep Fido leashed at all times on the uneven terrain. Visit Website

    Spooner's Cove Leash Required

    It's a fairly small but beautiful cove and they do require dogs to be on a leash at all times. Just because you let your dog off-leash and don't get caught doesn't make it an off-leash beach. You can receive a ticket and it is patrolled. The only off-leash dog beach in the area is a one-mile stretch north of the Morro Bay rock.

    Spooner’s Cove

    Head a few miles into the park to Spooner’s Cove (just type that into maps and it takes you right there). Our puppy ran around off leash and had a great time with other dogs. Only downside is the beach is VERY rocky. Wear tennis shoes!
