The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Capitola

Cliffwood Heights

Tails wag at the thought of Ozzi and Josh’s Dog Park, which is accessible through the Cliffwood Heights neighborhood, and located right above the New Brighton State Park. This park is named after Josh, who was killed in a hit and run, and his dog Ozzi, who never left his side until help came. This park features a huge off-leash play area and two swimming pools. Drinking water and waste bags are available for your dog. There is plenty of other easily accessible green space in this neighborhood too. Cliffwood Heights has three small urban parks, Cortez Park, Monterey Avenue Park, and Noble Gulch Park. These parks offer grassy lawns with shady trees and picnics tables. Please keep your dog leashed in these parks and pick up after him.

Capitola Beach

The Capitola Beach neighborhood is full of great areas for you to enjoy on your walk with your Fido. You can meander through the bistros and eclectic village shops, while taking in views of the Soquel Creek. This creek rolls straight through the Capitola Beach neighborhood. The south end of the creek features Perry Park, and the north end features Soquel Creek Park. Both are small parks with walking paths, bird watching, and benches to rest your weary paws. When evening rolls around, you and your dog can cozy up by the outdoor fire pit at Cork and Fork. This restaurant has dog-friendly outdoor seating and offers a wide variety of wines.

Jewel Box

The Jewel box neighborhood of Capitola is the proud home to the Jade Street Park. This is the park that all the dogs are barking about, and it’s a favourite among their owners too. It has a variety of athletic fields, public restrooms, water fountains, and a big grassy lawn for your dog to dig his claws into. Since it’s such a pawpular place among the neighborhood pups, it’s a great place to make some furry friends. Your dog will need to stay leashed, and bring waste bags to pick up after him. When you need a treat, head over to Dharma’s Restaurant for some organic, vegetarian food. This restaurant offers several outdoor dog-friendly tables.

Pleasure Point

A short jaunt out of Capitola brings you to the Pleasure Point neighborhood in Opal Cliffs. You and your dog will find the trek is worth it, because this neighborhood is home to the Moran Lake Park. This unique park surrounds a lake, and connects to a beach on the ocean. The park has public restrooms with a shower to wash off the sand, and offers picnicking, surfing and fishing. You and your pooch will love the trail along the side of the lake that leads to the ocean. This relaxed park allows on-leash dogs, so take a splash and then warm up by a beach fire!

Seabright Beach Community

The Seabright Beach Community in Santa Cruz is just 15 minutes away from Capitola, and offers a beach that attracts dog lovers from all over.
