Tons of dogs, really beautiful beach. Lots of surfers and bikini babes. Our dog had a great time, and our two year old daughter did too. What a perfect location for a fun family day for both furry and none family members. We will definitely recommend to anyone who is traveling with their pet.

Wow this was an amazing place to bring my 3 dogs and stroll along the beach with my family. Beautiful scenery and lots of happy dogs charging in and out of the ocean.

This beach is beautiful with or without a dog, but it seems to be the only official off-leash beach in the area. Just follow the sign to go to the left part of the beach.

My wife grew up in Santa Barbara and she always talked about (Hendry's Beach). We took our grown sons there last week for the first time so they could experience what Mom always talked about.
First, the weather was perfect, clear sky's, warm but a nice gently breeze off the ocean. The sand was easy to walk on and the...

The typical answer I would get from the knucklehead owners was "this is what dogs do" - evidently the excuse for not bothering to train/restrain their dogs. So, found that the beach at Padaro Lane was a...

The locals call this Hendry's Beach - if that helps clear the confusion. There is a good parking area. You can watch for whales, seals, and surfborarders oh my! You can take your dog for a walk (on a leash one way, without the other). Don't lose track of time because it gets cool here after the sun goes down...
