San Diego Local Custom Tips by spartan

If you bring your pets with you on vacation, there are a few beaches that you can go to where they are allowed to run without a leash. At Dog Beach (behind the Del Mar Racetrack/I-5 and Via de La Valle) you can let your dog run free in the surf from January to June (from the middle of June until the middle of September they must be on the leash) and again from October to December.
The dogs had a blast!

Another beach which I have gone to is Dog Beach @ Pacific/Ocean Beach (I-8 west until it ends, then follow the signs) where your dog can run free all year long. The water is shallower than Del Mar and everyone has a great time.
