  • Ally Adornetto
    "Lots and lots of dogs around! If your dog doesn’t like other dogs that’s a bummer, but if they like other dogs, then they’ll have plenty of friends to sniff out "
  • Steven W.
    "Very walkable and safe bike path. Lots of great food options and the sunsets are mesmerizing! Gets very busy in summer but lots of fun."
  • Ck5c7rttxf

    "Love your children enjoy La Jolla relax at the beach take some time out and go for brunch on Sundays and church weekdays out to lunch or dinner enjoy your family"
  • ColtBurns
    "Plenty of well trained off leash and very mindful owners. Can be busy on the beach on the weekends, but as an experienced dog owner this spot is pretty much perfect. Worst part is probably all the bikers and bladers so be weary. People tend to speed along riviera sometimes, so careful crossing to the dog friendly food spots 🤙🤙"
  • Trulia User
