Established in 1972, Dog Beach is a place where you can let your dog roam without a leash. I can only imagine that this is like dog heaven: your owner lets you run wild - swimming, sniffing others, chasing - a total dog free for all. The only rule is no fighting. There have been some updates since 1972: a sign and notice board indicating the Dog Beach area, a cemented entrance with big dog paws, and this cool sculpture of a paw.

Thanks for stopping by Bob.
Heather, I was there on Sunday too, although I don't have a dog - I was the one with the camera and 2 kids!
Aaron - This one is in Ocean Beach...I forgot about the one in Coronado!
Edwin - I think space is so essential for dogs, certain breeds need more exercise than others.
