Coronado Dog Beach

This photo was taken at Coronado Dog Beach in Coronado, CA. Beach days are the best days.

Bring Fido on a weekend mini-vacay to dog-friendly Coronado, located just across the bay from downtown San Diego. This resort town is popular for its wide, golden-sand beaches including one of the best on the West Coast where dogs can run free and splash in the Pacific. Stay at a historic, pet-friendly Victorian hotel, Hotel del Coronado, dine out with your dog, and spend some quality time with man’s best friend in the California sunshine.

Be sure to visit Coronado Dog Beach for a day of off-leash fun in the sun with your furry friend. Spend the morning dog paddling in the surf, building an epic sand dog house and taking a long walk by the sea. If you’d like to hang 10 or 20 with your dog, rent a dog-friendly board from Coronado Surfing Academy. Follow our tips for a fun and safe beach vacation like making sure Fido’s wears his sunscreen, his paws are protected, and you clean up after him. When it’s time to leave, wash off your pup with the hose at the complimentary dog washing station near the parking lot.
