Dog Friendly San Diego: There’s No Place Like Home

Eko and I have stayed in just about every type of pet-friendly hotel, motel and B&B this country has to offer, but this week we’re staying somewhere completely new.  For the same price as a hotel in downtown San Diego I was able to rent a bungalow one block from the beach.  The one bedroom pet-friendly rental has all the comforts of home and it is a wonderful alternative to a hotel.

Our humble abode

As if life couldn’t get better for Eko, the beach we happen to live fifty feet away from is none other than Dog Beach, one of San Diego’s best dog beaches.  Each of the past two days our morning walk has been replaced with a morning romp on the beach.

Dog Beach has been a place for dogs to run wild for over forty years

Dogs and surfers unite in their love of going wild in the waves at Dog Beach

If you’re brave enough, you can play chicken on the sand bar

And there is plenty of room for your dog to play in the sand

“I must have died, because this has to be heaven.”

Eko would probably be content spending the week between our house and Dog Beach, but there are so many other great places in San Diego that we need to check out.  Today we’re off to Fiesta Island, another one of the area’s popular off leash parks.  There are also tons of dog friendly restaurants around, so we’ll have to stop by one  for lunch.
