Pet-Friendly Beaches for Walking Your Dogs in San Diego

San Diego is also an extremely dog-friendly destination, with numerous restaurants and business establishments welcoming customers and their four legged friends.

Even the major league baseball stadium is named after a pet company!

Love the beach? So will your dog! San Diego has four off-leash beaches: Ocean Beach, Coronado Beach, Del Mar and Fiesta Island, and numerous leash-only beaches as well.

As a rule, the City of San Diego beaches are all open to leashed dogs in the morning’s before 9am and in the evenings after 6pm.

Despite what readers may find on-line regarding San Diego’s overall Walkscores®, once you get your boots on the ground to consider the city’s neighborhoods hyper-locally, happily, this reveals a different story.
