Del Mar Dog Beach, also known as North Beach to Del Mar locals, is a recreational paradise for those with four-legs and a tail. Stick fetching and frisbee-catching are priority here. The only drawbacks are the seasonal leash laws. Off-leash season runs October through May, and only in the area south of 15th Street and north of 29th Street. The rest of the year, leashes are required. What fun is that? Parking: Park on the street, but remember that Del Mar likes its parking revenues -- and parking ticket revenues especially. Pay your meter diligently, or buy a $4 all-day pass from the little pay-and-display-your-ticket box at the top of Camino del Mar, just before Villa de la Valle. The rules: Out-of-control doggie behavior is prohibited. Del Mar lifeguards enforce the rules and will write you a ticket. The crowd: This is a very respectable pet-owning crowd. The beach is low-key with few incidents. Facilities: Most owners use the city-supplied clean-up mitts, but it's still a good idea to watch your step. There are people restrooms, too, in the form of portable toilets.
