Coronado Dog Beach
Sunset views and shallow waves on Coronado's white sand
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.
