    This off-leash beach is seriously the cutest! I love how friendly all the dog owners are, and both times I've been here, I haven't seen one aggressive dog. The space is huge and perfect for letting your doggie run around, play, and get all that energy out. This is only my second time here, but we'll definitely be coming back a lot more. My doggie has the best time here!

    What a wonderful start to the Labor Day weekend. My dog and I enjoyed some playtime in the water along with the dozens of other dogs in my general area.

    There's a doggie food truck!

    I was visiting from out of town and I was so happy to come across Rosie's Dog Beach. Where I'm from, dogs are only allowed on the beach during certain times, but this is so awesome that they have a dedicated spot to enjoy the beach at any time. I really wish I had my dog with me. She loves the beach and would have loved this! It looks like it's very well kept. I also love the fact that they even have a doggy food truck nearby!

    FUN DOG VIBES (4 stars) - Easy access for (paid) parking lot - Choppier water - Soft Sand - NOTE: my friend use to live across the street and warned me people do drugs here at night and needles and drug can get left behind at the beach Long Beach is an underrated city. My fur.baby loved Rosie's Dog Beach, it was difficult getting her to leave when it was time to go home to San Diego. There were SO many kind people (dog owners or beach goers) and fun dogs of all shapes and sizes. Everyone was friendly and respectful. Many loved my dog and took pictures of her and her shark fin. She was so popular, I think that's why she loved it here. BEACH. Easy access to the parking lot. The sad is white and soft In the area but it's Long Beach so it's a little windier here than many other beaches in SoCal. Very spacious beach for dogs to roam leash free. I did notice there were ALOT of plastics and small fragments of trash that get washed up. So yes, the beach is a dirty when it comes to that aspect. I liked how there were a couple life guard post at this dog beach too. And Monty's Dog Bar is also on the beach next to this dog beach. We shall be back soon

    Brought my pup here for the first time! I will say, this beach was okay. Compared to Huntington dog beach, this one felt a lot dirtier. I do think they should add poop bag stations as quite a few people didn't bring bags to clean up after their dogs. And I think they need more trash cans dedicated for dog poop. From where we were, I didn't see any lifeguard on duty. I'm not sure if they were just further down or what, but there wasn't one near where we were. There was like security/life guards driving around in their trucks, but not like a lifeguard tower. I would feel more comfortable knowing there's professional lifeguards on standby just incase any incident, whether human or dog, may occur. Aside from that, it was super cute to see all the dogs frolicking in the sand & water! Tbh I don't think we would come back here, we prefer Huntington dog beach.

    This is the second dog beach I have been to in the past 2 months. Compared to Huntington Beach, there are much more food/drink options and vendors. Long Beach also has bathrooms nearby and a spot to get alcohol if you are wanting a drink. The vibe at both places is chill. HB does have cleaner water but I'm not up for swimming at either location...not with dogs using it as a toilet 15 feet away from me.

    It was my pup's first visit to Rosie's Dog Beach, and we all loved it! She was a little intimidated and shy at first, but I'm sure she'll get the hang of it soon. We arrived early on a Sunday, and it definitely got busy by the time we left about an hour later. Be sure to bring umbrella, drinks, snacks, and maybe a picnic blanket, you can easily spend the whole day here with your pup. It's so fun watching all the dogs interact and soak up some sunshine together. Parking is easy with metered spots, and there's also a nice flat path along the beach for walking, jogging, or biking for the humans. Thank you, Rosie's Dog Beach!

    What a fun beach! So many dogs running around . My dog had the best time ! It's perfect to just go lay out take your dog and both have a day !

    Fun day at Rosie's Beach. We only come here because of it being one of the few beaches that allows you to bring your dog.

    Part of Granada Beach in Long Beach, Rosie's Dog Beach is an off-leash dog zone, allowing dog owners and their furry companions to enjoy the California sunshine and surf with others of their ilk. My daughter and son-in-law brought down their mini dachshund with them for the holidays, and we had a chance to bring her to the beach on Christmas Day, in between rain storms that we received on the surrounding days. There were quite a few dogs there, all enjoying the sunshine. It's a relatively flat beach with decent sand and not too much debris this day. We stayed for a bit and saw many owners/dogs drop by to play, most for a short stay, making the trip an enjoyable part of their day. There is a big paved parking lot, using the Passport Parking app to pay digitally ($0.50 per 15 minutes). 2001 - Pilot program started for off-leash area 2003 - City council officially established 3 acre area 2010 - Officially renamed after Rosie, in memory of bulldog that started it all

    I love bringing my dog to Rosie's Dog Beach! I always go early in the morning before the beach gets crowded. It's a very decent sized stretch for dogs to run around. My dog doesn't like other dogs, and since we go early it's not an issue to maintain distance from others. People seem pretty respectful of the space and they pick up after their dogs. There's a big metered parking lot right next to the dog beach area, and there are a lot of trash cans.

    It's always a must whenever we're down in Long Beach. Have to take the fur baby to tire him out. In his case, he likes to just lay and lounge. It's alway quite pretty busy each time we've been. It's a decent stretch of beach so there's plenty of room for all the dogs to run around. This visit, the lifeguard went around to everyone asking if they were going in the water. And to be careful with stingrays as they're out. Basically to make sure we do the stingray shuffle before walking in. Smart. This beach is always pretty fun with people and dogs of all sort. Little one, big one, both off lease and on lease. Majority of dogs are okay with each other but you always have to be cautious as you never know how other dogs will react. And of course, clean up after them. There's loads of trash bin along the sand. It's a good beach as it's pretty wide and great for the dogs to run around. Parking in the lot or street parking. And afterward, grab a drink at Monty's.

    Even without a dog, this beach is a pleasure. It is a flat sand beach with open water access. There is a bike path and small beach bungalows looking over the ocean front. - There are palm trees, lifeguard stations and a view of Rainbow Harbor. I personally did not care for the harbor view but appreciate that the city attempted to disguise the mechanical island as something somewhat appealing. - You are a few blocks away from 2nd Street where there are great spots for ice cream, food, beach wear and beach toys. The downside is there is very little shade and parking is very difficult.

    Ask the Community - Rosie's Dog Beach

    Can we bring food on the beach?

    Tes you can bring food and they also have vendors selling snacks. But they are mobile so they are moving around. I see people having full on picnics. No bbq!

    Is there a lot of dog poop on the beach or do people clean up after there pups?

    I have not seen where poop is on the beach. People are very good at cleaning up after the dpgs.i also have never notice any odors

    Can you bring lounge chairs to sit or is mostly for walking the dogs?

    You can definitely bring lounge chairs and watch your dog play with other dogs :)

    Can I bring a 10x10 canopy for shade i have 4 friends with big dogs?

    Yes, I've seen others with EZ up canopies.

    Is this off leash or do they need to be on leash?

    Off leash in the designated areas (between two of the lifeguard towers - they have signs on them). Outside of that perimeter, dogs aren't allowed on the beach. Only the walking path.

    Can I fish there while my girlfriend walks the dog?

    Yes, I've seen others fish there but they go in the non dog zone

    I read that they recommend puppies to be 4Mos and require shot records ? Do they really check and ask for all your info?

    No but they should be vaccinated because diseases like parvo last over 7 years in the sand 🤢

    Are they strict to go after closing?

    Yes. Park ranger waits at the gate off Los Feliz Blvd and Riverside. A few years ago we were at an outdoor movie screening that got out late. Gate was locked right after me I think it was 10pm.

    Went last Saturday and it was super packed. Does anyone know if the weekdays are much better?

    Yes its not as crowded on weekdays , the earlier in the morning u can go is best , and remember it has been very hot these past few weeks, people are going to the coast for relief from the heat

    Are the dogs leashes in the beach? We plan to go at 4 pm

    There are signs, to tell you the point where you can let your dogs off leash at this beach. It's closer to the water than the parking lot% it should be obvious when it's ok. Hope this helps. It's a great dog beach.

    Do they accept credit card to pay for parking? Can we sit on the beach and relax?

    Yes CC accepted. Yes it's like a regular beach but with friendly dogs all around.

    Is it open today?do they accept credit card payment for parking?

    Yes

    Can you take your dog with you into the restroom? Wondering if I take my dog to the beach by myself how do I watch her if I have to use restroom?

    Yes bathroom is big enough

    Anyone know if we can bring our fur kids out here even with the covid19 going on?

    Yes u can, I was there on 5/14 the day the beach reopened, the park lot at that time was still closed only open to people who have parking passes , the parking lot may be open now ,if not theres street parking available

    Beach and lots closed for virus?

    Yes

    Are there volleyball nets there and are dogs allowed near them?

    We're planning a trip to Rosie's Dog Beach this week and my kids are telling me they can't swim in the water at a dog beach. Is that right?

    Nope that's wrong.

    How close is the street/cars/parking lot? Is it safe for dogs that like to run fast and hard off leash to let their energy out?

    The beach is very deep, meaning there's A LOT of sand between the water and the parking lot. Enough to for double volleyball courts, two concrete paths (biking / walking) another large stretch of sand, and then the boundary of the dog beach, which… 

    Is there a dog friendly place to eat near by?

    Long Beach is a very dog loving city so there's quite a few places n 2nd St. in Belmont Shore or you can drive up a few blocks and go to Plunge which is an indoor dog-friendly restaurant with a view. You also have Tequila Jacks and Parker's… 

    Is this beach enclosed by some sort of fence or something?

    There isn’t any fences in the beach area. There is a small fence between the parking lot and the beach, but nothing to hold the dogs in like a regular dog park.

And we do have a go-to dog park for occasions like this, but given an all-day free Saturday, I thought about checking out a new place. And that's how we found this spot. It is what most Yelpers say what it is: small. Prime (my fur baby) is more used to one of those large dirt and grass kinda areas. He enjoyed it anyway since he met new fur-friends and got to play with them for a bit. It worked out even better since my cousin met us there to bring his fur baby to a dog park for the very first time. This was a good first run for him - I figure it a good idea start him out in a small area to see how how reacts with other dogs and mostly so he doesn't get too overwhelmed. From the looks of it, it's safe to say that enjoyed his very first dog park run. Doggy bags and water fountains are provided for both pups and hoomans alike. There are also benches available. Parking is available, both private and street. It is very well maintained, but as small as it is, it shouldn't be that much of an issue. Alas, as nice and clean as it is, we probably won't be back. It just isn't big enough for my pup to run around. However! If you and your pup are more into just chillin', then this is the place.

It's quiet. Shady. Lots of grass. Gentle hills that make throwing a ball way more fun than it should be.

Watch the bowlers, throw a ball for your dog, read a book, eat a snack, take a nap, or just touch some grass for a while. My review is really just for this little corner of the park because that's where we spent our afternoon. But Recreation Park itself has a huge dog park, a playground, tennis courts, golf, ball fields, a bandshell, and even an area for fly-casting practice. Last weekend I drove out to El Dorado Park looking for this exact feeling. Ironically, this little corner of Recreation Park delivered it even better.
