Quick Summary:

  • Considering how many wonderful beaches there are in Los Angeles, and how much Angelenos love their dogs, there are surprisingly few beaches where the dogs can enjoy the sun and surf with their humans.
  • Only two beaches allow them a leash-free rompHuntington Dog Beach in Huntington Beach City and Rosie’s Dog Beach in Long Beach.
  • A few other beaches allow dogs to visit on a leash, such as two beaches in Leo Carillo State Beach, and while dogs are allowed in Point Fermin Park, they are not allowed onto the beach.
