About the Park
Coronado Dog Beach occupies the north end of Coronado's shoreline, a free stretch of sand where dogs can run off-leash with views across to Point Loma. The surface is soft beach sand, and dogs are free to romp near the water and dig where they please. San Diego's mild coastal weather makes it a year-round destination, though sun exposure on open sand means you should carry fresh water for your dog. Leash-free privileges come with cleanup responsibilities, and tides and posted rules can shift, so check current beach signage on arrival. Bring waste bags, rinse paws afterward, and keep your dog in view around the surf and other visitors sharing the beach.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Coronado Dog Beach is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Coronado Dog Beach is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
