Park Hours: Daily from 6:00 AM - 8:00 PM
Rosie’s Dog Beach is a well-known coastal destination in Long Beach, California, recognized as one of the few off-leash dog beaches in the state. Stretching along Ocean Boulevard near Belmont Shore, the beach attracts local residents and visitors who come for walking, jogging, dog socialization, and waterfront views.
Because the sand surface is uneven and walking distances can be longer than expected, many visitors experience physical strain—particularly in the lower back, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Standing for extended periods, bending to manage pets, or driving to and from the area can also contribute to neck stiffness and back discomfort, especially for individuals with prior injuries or chronic joint conditions.
Visiting Tips
- Hours: Open daily, free of charge
- Parking: Street parking and nearby paid lots are available
- Dog Policies: Dogs must be under voice control; vaccination tags recommended
- Accessibility: The beach is sandy and mostly flat, but surfaces can be uneven in places
- Best Time to Visit: Early mornings or weekdays for fewer crowds; late afternoons are great for sunset walks
