Head left or east if you have a dog you want to walk off leash. Head right or west if you want to catch fabulous tide pools or avoid dog beach . You can walk for miles at low tide

While a once hidden gem , this is still a fav of ours. The Boathouse at Hendry's Beach offers a great selection of fresh seafood and wine . But the free parking means prime views of the day's sunset !

Daniel Parsons

Great hike up trail parallel to Cliff Dr. Panoramic view of the local canyons & the Pacific Ocean. Nice hike through Kirk Douglas Family Preserve & then a nice walk down a long stair way to the beach .

Milli Parkus

Excellent place just to walk around, very dog friendly beach ! People are very friendly , a must place to in Santa Barbara.

Michael Morgan

Beautiful beach with a lot of parking . It goes on for awhile and gets less crowded the further down you go.

Ann Hewson

I love dogs as much as anyone, I have two. But they do not belong in or around food establishments ! The Boathouse at Henry Beach reeks of dog urine , so much so I completely lost my appetite

Vittorio Grieco

Great to have a romantic walk on the beach with your sweetheart... Also a great place to take your dog for a walk but be careful of the dead seagulls lying around...

Mary Anne M

Great beach for sunsets , easy access , and a good little surf shack restaurant nearby with awesome fish tacos .

Piper

Sunset , accessible parking , wide beach - great for a long walk.

Jesse Kaplan

Awesome dog beach . They have dog showers with shampoo.

Lea Futuro

Locals call it Hendry's Beach , the state of California calls it Arroyo Burro Beach. It's common to see pods of dolphins close to shore early in the morning. You can bring your dogs, too.

Kilho Park

Bring a surf board , bring an id and a credit card and eat and drink at the boathouse . Then watch the sunset . Easy day. BOOM.

Doug Baer

Nice place for a sunset walk. Lots of dogs : leashed to the right, unleashed to the left.

I wish I have Sookie with me. Fascinated with all the dogs here! I can just stay here all day. So peaceful watching the dogs and the waves. Aaahhh!

ummmm ... if perhaps your feet n legs get covered in tar ... yes ... I said tar ... don't panic ... rub baby oil on it ... it will come right off!!! God bless Johnson&Johnson!!!!

Benjamin Chait

Parking is tough, but totally worth the wait. Miles to wander and enjoy the Pacific.

Pamela Polomski

Great off leash dog beach spotted dolphins just off shore today

Craig Werwa

Best dog beach I've ever been too. Great to let the little guy run free and make friends.

Let the dogs off leash at Arroyo Burro Beach (Hendry’s Beach ), which features off-leash, dog-friendly east of the slough.

Lots of dogs running up and down the beach .

eric bornemann

Nice beach with cliffs to take a walk at low tide.

John Decker

Have lunch at the Boathouse and take a walk along the beach .

Theresa Grant

Both dog and people friendly with separate areas if you're not a dog person.

Jennifer B

There is a dog wash at the front end of the parking lot which is a good thing because the dogs play very hard at this beach !

Tim Ridgway

Make sure to take advantage of the token-operated dog wash once your pooch comes out of the surf ! Warm water, shampoo & blow dry. Can you believe this?

Janae Mack

Great place to take your dog. One of few off leash places around.

Jeanetta

A great place for people watching and enjoying the surfers.

Evan Manning

Awesome dog area. The parking sucks so be patient.

Olivia V

Don't leave ur dog's poop bags on the beach please. Who does that?!??

Aiden Kirchner

The view is beautiful. Great place to relax in the sun with your toes in the sand

Mike Harnett

Due to watershed, it has one of the highest water toxicity levels in SB. Go for the view , but stay out of the water!

Misschief

One of the few off-leash places that you can take your dog
