The Scene – Wave action deposited this triangular patch of sand in a protected corner of Belmont Harbor sometime in the 1980s. When local residents began unleashing their pooches here, the city gave the unofficial nod for dogs to run free without fear of ticketing.

  1. ... Sophi likes Belmont Harbor because there is a good dog beach that is very fun.

My dog told me to write this review ... Sophi likes Belmont Harbor because there is a good dog beach that is very fun. While my dog swims after her ball, she watches the boats float in and out of the harbor. She likes it even better when I wear sandals and get my feet wet. Sophi also feels more comfortable when I bring a baggie, so she doesn't get embarrassed in front of her other canine playmates.

  • Pros: no leashes, lots of dogs, fairly clean
  • Cons: LSD traffic
