Clam Beach County Park
location_onMcKinleyville, CA
Clam Beach County Park sits on the Humboldt County coast near McKinleyville, where dogs can go off leash along a stretch of Northern California shoreline. It is a free public park, making it an appealing no-cost destination for a beach walk with your dog. The coast here stays cool and often foggy year-round, and conditions can be windy, so a jacket is a good idea even in summer. Watch the tides and surf, which can be strong along this exposed coastline. Fencing does not apply in a beach setting, and posted rules can vary, so read signage on arrival to confirm where off-leash access is permitted before letting your dog run.
Hiller Dog Park

Grass underfoot sets the tone at Hiller Dog Park in McKinleyville, a natural surface that suits dogs who like to run and roll on something soft. Located on Humboldt County's cool, coastal-influenced North Coast, the park stays green through much of the year thanks to the region's damp climate. It is free to visit as a public park. Expect mild temperatures and the chance of fog or drizzle even in summer, so plan accordingly. We do not have confirmed details on fencing or posted hours, so check with the local parks department or read signage before letting your dog off leash. Bring water and waste bags for a comfortable local outing.
