55Beautiful, clean, and relaxing property surrounded by lovely redwood trees and a peaceful stream. The access instructions were very clear. The deck with chairs was perfect for lounging while the dog splashed around in the water. The ball hanging on a rope from the tree was also a huge hit! We had a fantastic time—thank you!!!Trisha L.

55Really beautiful spot, very grateful the owner has made it available to others. Be prepared for at least 20 minutes on winding mountain roads (but so scenic) and a short but steep climb from the car to the creek. Our kids wore crocs and were slipping, next time we’d all do hiking shoes. Our dog was in heaven. Worn out after just 10 minutes of jumping off hills and logs and splashing nonstop. Some parts of the creek are almost deep enough for an actual swim. Would be amazing on a hot day (for dogs and humans). And the swing, rope and chairs for relaxing are the icing on the cake. We will definitely be back! Ali V.

55It was a beautiful drive getting g there. The instructions and directions made finding it very easy. It was a bit steep going down hill but certainly well worth the effort. There were inviting chairs to sit in. We had lunch while listening to the creek water splashing against the rocks. Our dogs don’t swim but certainly enjoyed running up and down the shallow creek bed, tails wagging We will be back. This time I will bring my hiking poles and bootsJennifer C.

55My girl and I absolutely loved this spot! The drive there was a bit windy and I lost service a few times. I would suggest screenshotting the directions ahead of time in case your phone glitches like mine. Also I brought water shoes to actually be able to explore in the water and I highly recommend! Such a beautiful location and I love that it is completely private. Ariana L.

55This spot is amazing. A little spooky once the sun starts to set if you go by yourself and don’t pack a flashlight, but that’s on me😅 the creek is fresh and crisp and a great spot to help your small dog be comfortable with flowing water! Gloria J.

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.

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.

These locations range from compact spaces to properties spanning 23+ acres. Whether you need a space for your reactive dog, puppy socialization, senior dog gentle exercise, or high-energy play, Woodside dog beaches provide safe, private environments.

How many dog beaches are in Woodside?
Woodside offers 14 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 14 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 14 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. Please read all "rules" and all "access instructions" after booking. with excellent reviews.Read feedback from other Woodside owners with similar dog types to find your perfect match.
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.
