Dog Park Locations

In Panama City, Dog Beach at Pier Park is a pet-friendly area. Dogs must be kept on a leash and cleaned up after in this area on the right side of the pier.

During the early morning hours or late evenings, most public beaches in the Myrtle Beach area are pet friendly all year. Dogs are only allowed on the beach before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m. from May 1 to Labor Day. From May 1 through Labor Day, dogs and bicycles are only permitted on the boardwalk between the hours of 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. Dogs are allowed on the beach at any time from the day after Labor Day to April 30 each year. When dogs are allowed on the beach, they must be kept on a leash that is seven feet or shorter at all times, and their owners must pick up and properly dispose of their dog's waste.

Longport Dog Beach (also known as Somers Point Dog Beach, Malibu Beach, or just Dog Beach) is an off-leash dog beach located near the Malibu Beach Wildlife Management area where dogs of all sizes can enjoy the sand and sea. The beach is located on the Longport side of the Ocean Drive Bridge, across from the fishing pier. Owners are responsible for bringing their own water and waste disposal equipment. Because there are no trash cans on site, be prepared to dispose of all rubbish somewhere.

Large enclosed spaces for both large and small dogs, as well as dog showers, are available in Fort De Soto Park. Dogs on a six-foot leash are allowed anywhere in the park except on the beaches. The Paw Playground area is an exemption; dogs are permitted on the beach and are permitted to be off-leash in that area. They are also allowed to run around freely within the gated areas. On a hot summer day, you can hose down your dog to keep him cool, and there is also drinking water accessible. Two-legged visitors will find lots to do at the park, including exploring an old Spanish fort, beautiful parks, overnight camping with plenty of utilities, and picnic sites. "America's #1 Beach" was given to the north beach.

Pets are welcome at 8th Avenue Dog Beach. Plan an off-leash frolic at Asbury Park's 8th Avenue Dog Beach if your dog was born to run. Jump in the water with your dog for a nice swim after a game of fetch or Frisbee. Between mid-September and mid-May, dogs are always welcome on the beach. If you visit during the summer, go early in the morning or late in the evening, as dogs are not allowed between 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Ranch de Stunts The Santa Monica Mountains Reserve, also known as UCLA Stunt Ranch, is a 121-hectare reserve and biological field station operated by the University of California Natural Reserve System in Los Angeles County.

Climb the Calabasas-Cold Creek Trail with your dog to the peak of Calabasas Peak. This 4.5-mile round-trip climb gains 750 feet in elevation and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

Head up the Sandstone Peak Walk if you and your dog are experienced hikers seeking for more than a leisurely trail. This 6.25-mile circular route features a 1,075-foot elevation increase and offers wide views of the surrounding area once you reach the peak. Dogs should always be leashed, and their owners should tidy up after their pets.

At Paramount Ranch, take a walk with your dog through the prop buildings of an old movie village. The Paramount Ranch trails and prop town, which have been used as the set of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and many other films and series, are a fascinating spot to explore with your leashed dog. To get to the "Western Town," cross the bridge. Except for the trail that leads to Mulholland Highway, all trailheads are accessible from Western Town.

This Garden of the Gods, which has several interesting rock formations, welcomes petzooie on a leash. The 23-acre Garden of the Gods park is located in Chatsworth's northwest corner.
