Located just north of Los Angeles, Ventura is a laid-back beach town known as a surfing hot spot. Unlike Los Angeles County, where dogs are prohibited on most beaches, Ventura is much more relaxed about canines enjoying the surf and sand. Here are the top 7 dog-friendly beaches in and around Ventura, California, this year.
As you can see, Ventura is a wonderful place to be if you have a dog that loves the beach! To ensure your pup has an enjoyable day, remember to pack water, waste bags, dog sunscreen, and also portable shade if needed. Follow all posted signs, including keeping your dog on a leash, even if you see others not obeying the rules. Be respectful of other beachgoers since all of the beaches are shared spaces, not dedicated dog beaches. And of course, remember to pick up after your dog every time.
