So cool! Reminds me of childhood trips to the beach with kids and figs running free. Please Note: This place has a long and fairly steep staircase from the road to access--not wheelchair friendly! If your dog doesnt like stairs or has hip-dysplasia, keep driving and park near the lighthouse for great walking trails across the street.

While our stay in santa cruz we visited multiple dog parks and this was by far the best one of them all.

Great beach dedicated to dogs. There are stairs leading down to the beach. Dogs can be off leash and they can’t escape from there. Good beach to play boll with the dogs.

Love that I can let my dog run and play with other dogs! People are also very friendly!

I love that it's a dog beach! Remember to clean up after your pets to maintain a nice clean beach. It was my puppies first time at the beach so they were skidish and the other dogs were so nice to them. We enjoyed our trip here
