Off Leash at Dog Friendly Hendry's Beach
One of the best places in the world to be a dog is Hendry’s Beach (also known as Arroyo Burro Beach)! That’s because we rule the place and can legally frolic off leash there! Well, at least east of the slough. (Dogs must be on-leash west of the slough.) It’s this magical place where my humans can’t cramp my style!
Imagine a doggie paradise where the sun, sand, surf, smelly seaweed all come together in perfect harmony! Some dogs love chasing the birds but I prefer looking out for dolphins and abandoned picnics! And best of all, Emilia and Nick can do their own thing while I run free.
It can get pretty busy when the weather is nice – which is most days in Santa Barara. I know, I’m a lucky dog.
Also, there’s what looks like a pretty nice restaurant there (not dog friendly) and free parking right off Cliff Drive.
I know Emilia somestimes sneaks off to Hendry’s without me to go to the Boathouse restaurant – she comes home smelling like sunset and Rum Punch.
Dogs rule the beach!

Hey Nellie, looks like you’re having a blast… Boy your mom and dad were really smart to move right near Hendry’s – like moving into the perfect school district, except it’s for dogs. I had fun visiting you the other day. My mom and dad really like going there too…hopefully they’ll find some time to head there again soon. Until then, rock on and stay sandy. ~Poncho
