The last beach near the point at Avila Beach has a lot of dogs that are off-leash; although it's posted however they are not allowed between 10am-5pm. The beach is bordered by rocks jutting out into the water and a rocky cliff up to the street, so it's a natural sort of fence. There are doggie bags available for use. Parking is along the road and access is free.

Point Sal State Beach Trail
Point Sal State Beach Trail is a difficult, 10.3 mile hike that will take about 5 hours to complete with Fido. This trail is a haven for bikers, hikers, and dogs to enjoy the beach. This solitude is thanks to the fact that the road to the beach was closed off in 1993 and the beach was never popular due to the lack of facilities. Enjoy the beach wilderness, but be aware that the riptides and undertow in the surf can be deadly. Occasionally this area is closed off due to military activity.
