About this park

Coronado Dog Beach sits on a long stretch of white sand on the Coronado peninsula, with shallow waves ideal for dogs and a clear view of the Coronado Islands at sunset. It's notably less crowded than Ocean Beach, with a chill, laid-back atmosphere. Reviewers consistently praise the clean conditions, the rinse-off wash stations, and the fact that friendly dogs off-leash are the whole point.

Before you go

Parking can be tricky; arrive early on weekends. Wash stations along the beach let you rinse sand off your dog before the drive home.
