Stretching from Daly City to Palo Alto, the very dog-friendly San Francisco Peninsula blends dramatic shorelines, open space and walkable downtowns that welcome dogs and those humans who follow!

Along the Pacific, Half Moon Bay offers leash-friendly beach walks and blufftop trails with sweeping ocean views. Inland, Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve and Windy Hill Open Space Preserve provide miles of scenic paths where dogs can stretch their legs. For a restaurant with ocean views, try a DogTrekker favorite: Half Moon Bay Brewing Company.

Bayfront routes in Redwood City and Foster City invite relaxed waterfront strolls, while walkable downtowns in Burlingame and San Mateo add pet-friendly patios and cafés to the mix. With dozens of dog-welcoming hotels and year-round mild weather, the Peninsula pairs a Northern California region that’s “Kind of Wild” with urban ease.
