55Water is getting lower as summer goes on! We took the dogs down to the right towards another swimming area that is a little deeper- where the fallen redwood trees are. The dogs loved it!Megan T.

55This place is amazing!!! My scrappy little woodsy watery earth dog was in absolute heaven. No one around to interrupt her communing with nature. Can’t wait to bring her back.
Very easy to find the spot if you follow the host’s instructions.
If your dog is an escape artist you will need to keep them on a leash, they would easily get away from you.Kara S.

55Our dogs had a delightful time exploring, romping, sniffing, and splashing around. It was peaceful. The chairs were comfortable. We’d love to come back. Good hiking shoes are your friend. Maggie H.

55Really a great spot! Host has thought of everything! My reactive dog has never been able to enjoy water spots and rural hikes. I’m an older woman and for safety I sat on my butt to get down some of the early trail down but appreciated that there there are walking handrails in the steepest spots! Loved it! Thank you!

55Our 3 pups had a great time. It’s been a whole year since being able to come back to this spot due to our pup who loves water having 2 major knee surgeries (TPLO and MPL). He was very happy to be back and to get to explore the spot! Christine S.

55Super fun spot! Our dog enjoyed swimming and exploring the creek. The walk there is a little spooky if you lack balance - like me lol. but as long as you wear good shoes and keep three points of contact you’ll make it 😅 Amanda C.

55Amazing place! The pups had such a great time getting to explore off leash and play in the water. The path circles around and very defined edges of the area. Next time, I'm planning on bringing something to sit on for myself and the dogs. There are a couple of chairs that are already there and a deck. 100% recommend for any type of dog!Samantha S.

55What a wonderful spot! We felt a safe distance from the road, enjoyed the provided chairs, and our dogs loved splashing around. There’s a large deck and a couple of knee/thigh deep spots of water. The path down is on the steeper side, so I recommend wearing some shoes with traction and bring your water shoes for the river rocks!Rachel C.

55What a wonderful Sniffspot! It’s a little piece of paradise - calm and relaxing for my sensitive dog (and me). The directions were perfect, the exact distance from Skylonda and pictures made the dirt parking are hard to miss. The trail down to the water was a little steep and loose but fine with appropriate shoes. FYI, we could hear the traffic on 84, especially the noisy motorbikes. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if my dog wasn’t sensitive to them. She immediately picked her head up when she heard them but lost interest coz she was having such a good time Vanessa M.

55Super clear instructions with photos on parking and how to get down to the Sniffspot! Our pups had a blast exploring and swimming. A huge plus for us was that there were no foxtails (that we noticed) and also no ticks. We would absolutely make the drive to this amazing spot again! Thanks for having us! Monica X.

55Such a nice sniff spot! Wish I lived closer. My dog loved it, was a beautiful location, would definitely book again. (Notes: be ready for a windy road once you get closer, anticipate using bathroom at restaurant/gas station 5 miles nearby, dress for da woods) Maggie C.

55Wonderful spot! Gorgeous, with dappled sunlight and plenty of clear, shallow water to splash around in. One of my favorite spots to date.

55Our dog loved this spot! He is reactive so having a private space where we could let him off leash to roam and splash in the creek was awesome. He had so much fun and was quite tired afterwards. Hilary N.

How many dog beaches are in Woodside?
Woodside offers 13 dog beaches ranging from compact spaces to properties spanning acres. You'll find options such as dog water park, dog swimming pool, dog field, and more. Each Woodside dog beach listing shows detailed photos, amenities, fencing specs, and reviews from local dog owners.
Are Woodside dog beaches good for all dog types?
Yes! Woodside dog beaches work for every dog: puppies learning socialization, senior dogs needing gentle exercise, small dogs who feel safer without large breeds, high-energy dogs requiring space, and reactive or anxious dogs needing privacy. The completely private bookings mean each dog gets the environment they need. Browse Woodside's 13 options to find spaces matching your dog's specific temperament and needs.
Will I encounter other dogs at Woodside dog beaches?
Not a chance. Woodside dog beaches operate on a strict one-booking-at-a-time system, so the space is entirely yours during your reserved slot. Host dogs are kept away, and there's a mandatory 30-minute buffer between bookings—meaning you won't cross paths with the previous or next guest. For Woodside owners with reactive dogs, puppies, or any dog needing privacy, this makes all the difference in providing safe, stress-free exercise.
Are Woodside dog beaches safe for fearful or anxious dogs?
Yes! Woodside dog beaches provide controlled, predictable environments without the chaos of public dog parks. Since bookings are completely private with 30-minute buffers, anxious dogs can explore a waterfront area where dogs can swim, play in sand, and enjoy beach activities off-leash without overwhelming encounters. Many Woodside dog owners specifically choose dog beaches for fearful dogs who need gentle, stress-free exercise environments.
Can puppies use Woodside dog beaches?
Absolutely! Woodside dog beaches are excellent for puppy socialization because they're private and controlled. Puppies can explore a waterfront area where dogs can swim, play in sand, and enjoy beach activities off-leash, practice recall, and build confidence without the overwhelming chaos that can create fear or reactivity in young dogs. Just ensure your puppy has age-appropriate vaccinations before visiting.
How do I choose the best dog beach in Woodside?
Start by filtering Woodside's 13 dog beaches for your specific needs: secure fencing for escape artists, "fewer dogs seen/heard" for reactive dogs, flat terrain for seniors, appropriate sizing for small dogs, or specific amenities for training. Look for "Top Spots" like Woodside's Private swimming hole in the redwoods.

What are Woodside's dog beach requirements?
All dogs must have basic vaccinations or titers. Each Woodside host may have additional rules on their listing. Most dog beaches welcome all breeds, sizes, and temperament levels, including reactive dogs who can't safely visit public dog parks. Adult supervision is required at all times.
