Pacifica Esplanade Dog Beach

Very nice and spacious beach. Dogs are allowed and are mostly off leash. It's not too crowded and you can walk further down the beach to have even more privacy.

The perfect place for a MO dog to see the ocean for the first time! Great family memory.

If you have a dog bring trash bags since the trash cans are on top. Overall it's a nice place to let your dog run free since the entry way is the exit way and it's a hike to climb. So going off leash on this beach is awesome. I do wish there was a gate but its secure for dogs.

What a beautiful place in general! Doesn't matter if you come to this beach with or without a dock with the fact that they have such a large portion of the beach specifically for off-leash dogs is fantastic! We also checked out another Beach in San Francisco near Land's End but very small compared to this as far as areas allowed for off-leash dogs! if you have a furry friend that you like to bring along do both of you a favor and stop by here for at least a day.

For the most part it's awesome. Be aware it's a popular fishing spot. Occasionally there is someone on the beach who really does not want dogs running up to them, which is kind of annoying, because it's a designated off leash beach after all. Usually the beach itself is pretty clean, but it would be great if people picked up their dog's poop on the switchbacks and along the path by the road above the beach. Super gross to see poo everywhere. Overall still a great spot. Lucky to have this in walking distance.
