Review & FAQ:

Buchanan Dog Beach, also known as Albany Beach, is located at the entrance to Albany Bulb and is a simple, undeveloped beachfront offering gentle waves and a less crowded atmosphere than its nearby peninsula. The area is noted for its unusual history as the site of former construction dumping and offers views of the nearby Golden Gate and Bay Bridges and the Golden Gate Fields racetrack. Though visitors should note that the beachfront is heavily populated with rocks and driftwood, it offers a convenient access point for off-leash exploration and swimming with dogs. The beach is also a great spot for watching nearby kite surfers in the bay’s waters.
