Sonoma Coast State Park

Doran Regional Park near Bodega Bay, often known as Doran Beach, is a dog-friendly length of sand. It's the ideal spot for a walk with your dog, with a 2-mile stretch of sandy beach. At this fantastic beach, visitors enjoy walking, picnicking, playing on the sand, flying kites, surfing, and bird-watching. Make a point of visiting the park's rock jetty on the west end with your leashed dog. There's even a section of the beach dedicated to dog off-leash fun. The cost of parking is $7. Doran Beach is open from 7 a.m. to sunset every day of the week.

As long as your dog is under your care, Dillon Beach is a dog-friendly beach. Parking in the lot costs money from sunrise to dusk.

Dogs are welcome to romp and play in the river and on the beach at Monte Rio Community Beach, which is located on the west side of the Russian River bridge.

Dogs on leashes are welcome throughout Ragle Ranch Regional Park, but your pooch can take a break from her tether at the Animal Care Center of Sonoma County Dog Park, which is located within the park. Despite the lack of a separate space for small and large dogs, there is a daily 'Small Dog Hour,' with the park reserved for dogs weighing 30 pounds or less.

The West County & Rodota Trails are part of a countrywide network of 1600 rail-trails maintained by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to establish a nationwide network of trails from old rail lines and connecting corridors. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Sebastopol!
