Bean Hollow State Beach

"It's nice to enjoy the beach when it's dog friendly. Parking is limited but there's a lot of space to assemble your tent."

"A quiet family beach spot allowing dogs along the north coast of California. Near the parking lot, a few picnic tables for our snacks, overlooking the sandy beach below. We had bought local fresh artichoke bread and honey nearby at Arcangeli grocery. We brought our mother in a wheelchair near the tables to watch and enjoy the fresh air. It was a bit windy and foggy so we wrapped blankets around ourselves. Our dog and grandson enjoyed the sand and waves below. Outhouses are available near parking. For an hour drive from the SF Bay area, it was a worthwhile getaway. Note: poor or no internet signal in this area. Maybe the government should add free wifi hotspots in the parks and beaches?"

"Beautiful, scenic beach with tide pools. Parking is free but very limited. Went on a weekday so very peaceful and quiet. Dog friendly and can do some fishing as well"

"The beach is beautiful and quiet. The parking lot is really small, but there are some picnic tables and portable toilets. And parking is free. You can not grill anything, because there is only one grill stand left and it's in a terrible shape. If you decide to go to the trail, aware of poison oak."

"We love this place dogs enjoy the beach, tide pools over the cliff. The reason im giving a 3 is do to the portable bath rooms very nasty, and no showers or running water to clean your self. But is a must see place if you are around the area."
