Off Leash Fun for your Four-legged Friend

Our 100 lb fur baby loves Fort Funston. There's plenty of sniffing paths and running room. For humans the only toilets are portapotties, so that's a bit of a drag, otherwise it's worth the drive to enjoy the spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean with...More

Views, Hang Gliders, Hiking Trails, Dogs, Dogs and more DOGS!

Fort Funston is one of the very best outdoor, off leash dog runs in all of the greater San Francisco area. It's unfortunate that parts of the cliffs and beaches have fallen away off the Great Highway, but there's still lots to see. Parking can...More

Great place for you and your dog

Amazing views of the Pacific Ocean, a few benches to enjoy a picnic. Multiple trails, both paved and natural. Dogs may go off leash here, but make sure to clean up after them. Because it's SF coast the area can be chilly, so I recommend...More

All beaches are stunning. This one stands out because of its accommodation for dog walking unleashed. I am not a pet owner and it was still so fun to meet humans and doggies here! The trails are quite the workout. The good thing is all...More

Wouldn't go out of my way if visiting SF

Fort Funston was near our neighborhood so a number of times we popped over to see the hang gliders- this is a very popular dog park- lots of dogs running wild (unless leash laws are in effect)

Regular visitor to this amazing beach, very dog friendly and lots of trails to walk in both the hills and beach

Wish I could give this spot a higher recommendation. I visit Fort Funston often with both my family and friends and our pets! Dogs here should be off-leash as there are always lots of friendly dogs here and there is plenty of safe space to...More
