Leo Carrillo - Staircase Parking Lot

Parking $3 an hour, water was warm!

Dog friendly beach (leashed dogs only) with $8 all day parking if you can find a spot - there’s around 30 of them

Dog friendly beach. A steep climb down, but doable. Better to park in the lot south of here off the beach access road.

Great place to park to get access to a dog friendly beach. You do have to climb down some stairs and a rocky path but it's not long. The beach has a lot of rocks, which may be a problem for some, but my kids loved climbing on them. And the beach has so many cool shells to check out!!! There were a handful of people coming and going, but I wouldn't say it was crowded by any means on a weekday in April.

I very nice little beach with firm damp sand for your pet to enjoy. The small parking lot has a port-a-loo and you need to pay parking at the machine and display the receipt on your dashboard before heading down. The machine takes Visa & MasterCard. It costs $8 for the day so it's cheap. The path down to the beach is most assuredly NOT wheelchair accessible. It's a challenging little switch-back trail with a tricky step at the end. Plus you need to transverse some seaside rocks to reach the beach area. I posted a video of the path. It's a great way to get your exercise!
