Leashed dogs are welcome on Hearst Beach but if it’s an off-leash adventure Sparky is looking for, simply walk just a few hundred feet to the right of the pier where signs announce the boundary of the state beach. Here you will find happy off-leash dogs and their humans enjoying the sand and surf.
It’s worth noting that San Simeon Cove is next to Hearst Memorial Beach, where leash laws are strictly enforced, including the parking and picnic areas.
