Dog Friendly Del Mar's North Beach, California
Del Mar Dog Beach - San Diego, California
Del Mar has
maintained its status as a dog friendly city since incorporation in 1959.
Nine months of the year, dogs are allowed along the entire two plus mile
stretch of beach in addition to the City’s two major parks, Seagrove Park
and Powerhouse Park. While many residents and visitors enjoy all areas of
the beach, the most popular location for owners to bring their canines is
the North Beach area.
North Beach, affectionately called “Dog Beach” by dog owners, is located north
of 29th Street and stretches nearly one half mile to our border with Solana
Beach. The area includes the mouth of the San Dieguito River and a stretch of
coastal bluff. While laws restrict access to half of the Del Mar beach during
the summer months, North Beach remains open to dogs; however, dogs must be
restricted to a six foot leash.
