Bolinas Beach is a secluded dog-friendly beach located off of Highway 1 in the city of Bolinas, also known as Brighton Beach due to the name of its access road. The beach allows off-leash roaming for four-legged friends at all times, though pet waste removal is strictly enforced due to neighborhood complaints. It is known as a popular beginner surfing spot due to its soft rolling waves, which wrap around the point of nearby Bolinas Lagoon. Camping is permitted at all times, and a tennis court is available nearby for use. Other popular activities include fishing, kayaking, bird watching, and sunbathing.
