Best Dog Park: Fiesta Island in San Diego, California
Much of San Diego’s large Fiesta Island is designated as a leash-free zone, so your pup is free to romp across the sand or go for a swim in the calm bay. A 90-acre fenced off-leash dog park allows for safe exploration, with trails and beach access. Visitors will also find bonfire rings around the island’s shore, perfect for an evening on the beach with the pooch.
