One of the first official leash-free beaches in the United States, the Original Dog Beach in San Diego is a nationally famous canine hotspot, where pet-owners, beach-lovers, surfers and the dogs themselves can bask in the luxury of clean waters and soft sands. Sit back and enjoy the adorable sight of dogs of all breeds, colors and sizes run freely along the coast, soak their paws in the waves of the sea and chase each other around like children at the playground. This is also a great opportunity to meet fellow dog-lovers and owners.

After a long day of frantically scurrying about, you can leash your pup and take a lovely stroll together along Ocean Beach before 9am or after 6pm. You can also give him/her a nice, clean bath at the Dog Beach Dog Wash. So, grab some water, snacks and your non-human best friends and head down to this canine heaven!
