Thinking about taking a trip, but don’t want to leave your four-legged friend at home? There are plenty of dog-friendly destinations to create the perfect vacation that you and your furry BFF will be sure to enjoy! Here’s the perfect itinerary for a weekend with Fido in Ventura County Coast.
Day 1
Stay!
Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach is a dog-friendly hotel; pups of any size are welcome for an additional $75 fee. Be sure to call before booking to make sure a pet-friendly room is available.
Located steps away from the beach and just minutes from Ventura Pier and the downtown area, Crowne Plaza is the ideal spot. Bring your dog to the beach for a day of play; leashes are required, so add one to your packing list.

Dogs will enjoy a stroll down the Promenade, which has plenty of doggie bag stations, a grassy lawn area, and a water fountain and photo booth designed just for them!
