Just a few miles west of your Mission Valley condominium is a beach where you can take your dog and let it run wild. Just hop on Interstate 8 and take it all the way to Ocean Beach:

Dog Beach in Ocean Beach, California


Sand dunes at Dog Beach in San Diego, CaliforniaDog Beach is in the San Diego community of Ocean Beach, and according to legend, verified by a commemorative plaque, Dog Beach was the first leash-free dog beach in the nation. Although you can find people there without dogs — some just watching the dogs, some jogging through — the beach is set aside for dogs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dog Beach also happens to be one of the few areas in San Diego County where you can see sand dunes as most beaches are surrounded by cliffs or buildings.

The slide show below shows Dog Beach it all its dog-frolicking wildness and beauty. Hope you enjoy it. And if you're looking for a real estate agent to help you find a home for you and your dog(s), please call me at 619-729-5701 or email me at JimFrimmer@Century21Award.com.

Jim - I love dog beaches, and  today I took my dog to the jetty where most of the sand is washed away. but it is a place where the dogs can run and swim off leash!

Wanda - I'm not really a dog person but I do enjoy watching them when someone else owns them. The dogs at Dog Beach all seem to be so happy to be off a leash, frolicking in the water, chasing whatever is thrown out there, and being free to pee and poop wherever they please, knowing that their owners will pick up after them. LOL

Sharon - I think I know of the jetty of which you speak. The Dog Beach in Ocean Beach is right by the jetty, too, at the mouth of the San Diego River. Right next to Dog Beach are a bunch of volleyball courts, and if a ball goes too far out of bounds, it's not unusual to see one of the big dogs slapping the volleyball around.

Jim,

That's a dog gone good post.

Seriously though; dog friendly beaches in the city provide a much needed outlet.

My boxer, Buster, would love this.  So would I.  Nothing's better than a walk on the beach.  Add in your best friend and it's heaven.

Debra - I thought that was interesting, too.

Anne - Although the big dogs that get soaked in the water and then roll around in the sand and then come by you to shake for about 15 seconds..... LOL
