The best dog friendly neighborhoods in San Rafael

Sausalito Wag Dog Festival

The Sausalito Wag Dog Festival is a yearly event that is sure to keep you and your furbaby entertained for hours! From the amazing vendors with their wag-tastic wares to the delicious food and drinks, you and your forever pal will find plenty to see, eat, drink, and enjoy.
Don't forget to take part in some of the great mini-events they have available, like the many workshops and contests on-site! The event is a great way to not only spend some time with your favorite pooch, but also to help out other homeless furbabies in need, as much of the proceeds will go to supporting the local rescues of the area.

Barbary Ghost Yacht Tours

If you enjoy the water and your best furry friend does, too, then why not take a mini-yacht tour with them? Barbary Ghost Yacht Tours is a pooch-friendly company that loves to give tours of the very waterways that have inspired literary artists for years!
Grab a tour and head out to see the northern bay, or take a ride across for the next baseball game you attend! They even have kayak tours, though we'd suggest taking those without your pawsitively awesome furbaby, as they may not be very comfortable in a kayak with you. No matter which you choose, you and your fur-ever buddy are sure to have a great time!
24

Lands End Trail

Get out and grab some brisk morning air with your furry friend while you take in some of the most idyllic scenery around on the Lands End Trail! This trail is noted for being beginner-friendly, with a few fairly strenuous points throughout the trail to give you a bit of a workout.
There are plenty of points of interest along the trail, which is entirely dog-friendly (leashed only) and offers views of the USS SF Memorial and El Camino del Mar. Remember to bring along a camera or your phone, as you'll want to get some amazing shots of the views! You and your furbaby will love this trail and all it has to offer.

Dog Friendly Wine Tours

If you love wine tasting but hate having to search every single vineyard to see which are dog-friendly, then this is the solution for you.

Team up with a professional dog trainer/guide from their staff and spend a minimum of 4 hours checking out the many amazing wineries in the area!
Don't forget to get some tips on other dog-friendly wineries to add to your travel plans, because these folks know quite a few! You and your fur-ever friend are guaranteed to have a pawsome time!
