Coffee and a walk in Santa Monica
Santa Monica has several off-leash dog parks. The Herb Katz Dog Park at Joslyn Park (633 Kensington Rd) and Airport Park (3201 Airport Ave) both have separate areas for small and large dogs, and there is also a dog run at Memorial Park (1401 Olympic Blvd). See all dog parks in Santa Monica. On the way to and from them, your dog must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet, and dogs in Santa Monica must be licensed with the city (City of Santa Monica, 2017).
The city's own business directory marks some shops as "Dogs allowed", and we use it as a source for several cafés here.
