Fort Funston Doggie Beach is located along San Francisco’s southwestern coast and is one of the United States’ premiere spots for hang-gliding. The beach is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and showcases spectacular 200-foot sand bluffs. Dogs are permitted off-leash within most areas of the beach and its surrounding areas and are allowed on-leash throughout the rest of the recreation area, making the beach the perfect spot for a pet and owner day excursion. A variety of nature trails connect the beach to sites such as the nearby World War II-era Battery Davis and the beautiful Mussel Rock Beach. Other popular activities include shelling, fossil collection, and horseback riding.
