Ocean Villa Inn (5142 W. Point Loma Blvd; 619-224-3481 or 800-759-0012; $129+) claims to be San Diego?s most dog-friendly hotel and with the dog beach at their door offering 25 miles of leash-free shoreline, they have a strong case.

They provide pet treats, pet towels, and a dog wash shower.

Chow? dog-friendly spots to grab some kibble
Helmed by lesbian celeb chef Deborah Scott, Hillcrest?s Kemo Sabe (3958 Fifth Ave; 619-220-6802; $7-26) presents excellent, innovative globally inspired cooking with especially pronounced Southwest and Asian influences. Food is served in large, creative presentations. It's a real favorite among the locals. Dogs are allowed at any of the six outdoor tables.
Romantic and refined, Terra (3900 Vermont St; 619-293-7088; $15-30) ranks among Hillcrest's better "date" restaurants. The patio is dog friendly.
An excellent University Heights restaurant is Gulf Coast Grill (4130 Park Blvd; 619-295-2244; $12-24), specializing in both Southern-and Southwestern-inspired seafood. Dogs may dine with their people on the outside patio.
Run Dog, Run
There are two 24-hour leash-free areas in gay-popular Balboa Park, Nate?s Point (Balboa Drive at El Prado) and Morley Field (northwest of the tennis courts.)
In Ocean Beach, Dog Beach (foot of Voltaire Street) offers 24-hour beach and ocean access.
