rosie's dog beach

Wasn't very crowded, beautiful and clean. Only problem were people sitting on blankets who I guess were not aware it was a dog beach and seemed offended by dogs running towards them, over their blanket and shooting up sand at them while running! Haha.. Oh well

Love everything about it.Dislike when first timers don't know how to introduce their dogs to other dogs and end up fighting. Watch Cesar Milan show!

This is a unique place where dogs can run free and enjoy the ocean. Fun whether you have a dog or not.

Long Beach is home to the only off-leash dog beach in L.A. County, CA. Come on LA County get with it! This 3-acre park is located at the waterfront, end of Granada Street a few blocks east of the Belmont Pier.Ample parking is available along Ocean Boulevard and the metered lot in front of the beach. Only one dog per adult is permitted, and no aggressive dogs are allowed. No dog treats are allowed.

We took our 5 month old puppy there and we had a terrific time. Although it was a holiday weekend, there was plenty of metered parking. We ended up parking on the street for free. The dogs seemed friendly enough. Very similar to dog park experience. A quick note is to stay in between the cones. We recommend this place for all dogs.

Average looking beach with people and dogs everywhere. I just happened to be in the area, but good that the doggies can roam freely.

Coming from the east ciast its wonderful to see that there is an opportunity to take your dig to the beach, wade in the surf, hunt fir shells while your dog is able to accompany you! The atomsphere is relaxed and the beach great! Great job Long Beach!

Rosie's is a definite favorite with my 3 dogs. They definitely give it 5 paws, and we went during the week so it wasn't crowded at all. Just enough other dogs to have a good time. There's tons of parking at Rosie's, and no big waves so you can relax at let them play.

A most wonderful stretch of the beach for well mannered and friendly dogs to run off leash and take dips in the ocean. A most welcome area for dog owners and their doggies alike. the campaign to get this wonderful place was initiated and carried out by Justin Rudd and named for his late bull dog, Rosie. Before we had Rosie's, we all had to travel all the way to Huntington Beach if we wished to take our doggies to the beach.

There was plenty of parking. Everyone with dogs were friendly and happy, like their dogs. One of our pups took a dump by accident and someone came up to us and gave us a bag as we weren't prepared. We will next time and bringing extra bags to use and to offer. I definitely will go back again.

We drove from Vegas to Huntington Beach to try the dog beach there, and accidentally found Rosie's Dog Beach in Long Beach. While I can't really rate one higher than the other (they were both excellent), it's nice to have a couple options that aren't too far apart. Friendly people who cleaned up after their pets, and friendly dogs having a great time running free.

Its really is a spectacle, not that there is beach area for dogs but to see dogs dressed up and getting ready to surf or learning to surf. Its what a dog beach is for.

I've taken my dog to Rosie's dog beach multiple times and never had a problem with other dogs or dog owners. In fact, I have experienced that the dog owners who take their pups to Rosie's are down to earth. I've taken my dog to dog parks where people bring dogs that don't play nice with other dogs, but not at Rosie's. Let's face it, it's fun to let your dog run free and play in the waves and given the other dogs and their owners, I think Rosie's is a great place to take your pup for some exercise and for some ocean views for you.

My wife and I have brought our Frenchie here a couple of times now. The beach is easy to get to, has a decent amount of parking, and is great for dogs and dog-owners. We will frequent this dog beach for the foreseeable future.

You get the least amount of people and the least amount of knuckleheads (i.e. people that don't take care of their dogs) if you go early in the morning. Also, you have the greatest amount of free space. My dog lives for the beach, so this is a go to for us. Your dog doesn't have to know how to swim if you are just enjoying the sand, but if it is going in the water, that tide is strong and they will have to be confident swimmer. Also, keep track of your metered parking. They love to give out tickets!
