Local Tips from Pacific Beach Dog Owners

  • Fiesta Island is the best off-leash area - massive space for dogs to run and swim in Mission Bay
  • Capehart Dog Park is smaller but convenient for quick neighborhood visits
  • Garnet Ave is the main commercial strip - most restaurants welcome dogs on patios
  • Beach boardwalk gets very crowded on weekends - walk dogs early morning
