Tropicali

Tropicali was envisioned by creative director Michael Sterling Eaton and his wife, Sanoe Lake, a professional surfer and actress. Sanoe, a local Hawaiian, and Michael, a California native, seamlessly blend their diverse backgrounds to craft the uniquely natural California island-style fusion known as Tropicali – an embodiment of the island state of mind.

Inspired by the beauty of California and their individual experiences, this power couple has curated an atmosphere that reflects the all-natural, laid-back essence of the Californian island lifestyle. Bring your dog along to experience the captivating blend of cultures and the warm, welcoming vibes that make Tropicali the number-one poke restaurant in America. The outdoor patio area is dog-friendly.

This illustrated map of California highlights dog-friendly destinations across the state. The coastline features beaches where people and their dogs play in the surf and run along sandy stretches. Forests in the north show hikers with leashed pets on shaded trails beneath redwoods and pines. In the mountains, skiers navigate snowy slopes alongside dogs fitted with boots or jackets. Major landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood sign, Yosemite’s Half Dome, and Lake Tahoe are marked with small groups: travelers accompanied by their dogs exploring city parks or pausing at scenic lookouts. The map uses bold colors to distinguish natural regions—blue for ocean areas, green for forests, white for mountain peaks—and includes labeled icons indicating popular pet-friendly activities throughout California’s diverse landscape.
