If you’re looking to enjoy a day at the beach in Los Angeles, you’ll find miles of public shore access that’s just a quick drive or public transit ride away. However, dog owners who want their pets to join them will have limited options. Many of the beaches nearby don’t allow even leashed canines. Fortunately, as long as you have access to a car, beach access is an easy (traffic-dependent) drive from most parts of the city. Here are the top dog-friendly beaches in and around Los Angeles.

Conclusion
Before any trip to the beach near Los Angeles, be prepared to keep your pup cool and hydrated. Pack water for drinking and rinsing your dog, along with shade, doggy sunscreen, and waste bags. Always keep your dog under control, pick up after them, and follow all posted regulations. With so few dog-friendly beaches close to Los Angeles, the last thing that you want to do is let your pup be a nuisance!
