Address: 4320 East Olympic Plaza, Long Beach, CA

Ever wanted to bring your dog to the beach? Toss tennis balls into the ocean watching your pooch paddle in pursuit? Just 30 minutes south of LAX, pup lovers unite to play by the Pacific – living and loving life, unleashed.

To access “the only legal dog beach in LA County”, aim for the address above. Pull into the parking lot and continue forward, passing the 2nd row of planted palm trees. From there, Rosie’s Dog Beach will be well-marked with signposts in the sand; it’s pretty much the entire area in front of you – from one lifeguard tower to the other.

All in all, a phenomenal activity for pet parents and their fur babies – swimming together in the sea without punishment from the pesky paw patrol.

While in the area, consider checking out Seal Beach (11 minutes away), the World Famous Naples Canals (129 Ravenna Drive), The Queen Mary, Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach Performing Arts Center, and much more!
