DeSota National Monument Park Well-behaved, leashed dogs are permitted in this park as long as dog guardians are responsible for proper disposal of dog excrement. Note of 01-07-07: A kind reader has the following comments about this park: "It has a wonderful walking trail that allows pets. It winds through grassy areas, ocean view, wooded areas, beach area and sidewalked areas. There are plenty of doggie stations that supply bags and refuse cans. Parking can be somewhat of a problem at times."
