Pig Beach (near Port Ludlow)

Fully Fenced

0.63 acres

A .63 acre dog sanctuary for you and your pup. The yard is well maintained with dog friendly grass and has incredible views of the Hood Canal and Puget Sound. If you're interested, there is private beach access for you and your pup to explore miles of beach (public but almost always empty). There are numerous dog toys available and a massive 6+ person, dog friendly couch (late Spring to early Fall) you can relax on and watch the canal when you need a break! Regarding the beach, there are approximately 50 steps which you will need to climb up and down to access the beach so please wear proper footwear. As this is on the Hood Canal and not a lake or a pond, tides impact the size of the beach. If you are hoping to walk endless miles of beach, the tide will need to be at 2ft or below. Anything under 4ft will give you a massive area (probably 1/2 mile or more) and almost guaranteed private area as only people with stairs can access the beach at this tide level. Though the beach is open at any point, I think the maximum height you would probably want to go is about 6.5ft. This still gives you and your dog a decent sized area to play in (approximately 500ft by 30ft or 1/2 acre). Photos 16 and 17 show the beach at 6.25ft with a very large sandy area for you and your pup to play in. Anything above 6.5 ft is not recommended as the beach just gets thinner and thinner, but you're able to try if you want. (no refunds given if you don't like what you find). You are responsible for checking out the tides before you go. Legally, I can't recommend any specific source for you to use, but you might find good information Googling "tide chart port ludlow". Regarding ADA Accessibility, my property is on a gently sloping hill. To access it, there are 2 very wide concrete steps to get to the grass. This would be doable for someone on crutches and probably ok for a regular wheelchair if you had a second person to help lower you to each step and pull you up. It's definitely not accessible to a motorized wheelchair. Sorry. Note - restroom is only available if I'm home, otherwise there is one approximately 2 miles northwest at the gas station in Port Ludlow

Camp Dilly Dally Doggie Park In Buckley

Partially Fenced

5 acres

We offer five acres of partially mowed fields and a natural wooded area. There is a small pond and access to South Prairie Creek. The creek has a variable current, so it may be best for larger dogs. The pond would be ideal for smaller dogs who aren't strong swimmers. Trails began as deer/elk trails but have been improved. There are some small logs and rocks here and there to step over so sturdy shoes are recommended. The leaves that cover the trails in the fall may be a little slippery, so take care.

Very nicely maintained huge fenced spot. The creek is really wonderful and we spent the whole time playing in it. I really appreciated the extra touches like water for both humans and dogs and the toys as well. The shady picnic area was great too. Plenty of area to play fetch, explore and sniff and splash around. Signs are very clear and helpful.

We loved this spot and can’t wait to return! Our dog really enjoyed the creek and how much of it there was to play in! She also really enjoyed the creek being different depths to splash in some places and swim in others. The host was great.

I took my four dogs (two 13-month-olds, a 5-year-old, and a 16-year-old) to this Sniffspot, and it was a great experience. The host was friendly, and the instructions were easy to follow with clear signs. The park was clean and well-maintained, with fresh water, toys, and a Chuck-It for fetch. My dogs loved the creek that runs along the park, and they spent a lot of time playing in the water. The trails through the tall grass were a nice touch, and they had fun searching for balls after I threw them. The uneven terrain was perfect for my senior dog, who walked around at his own pace and even waded in the creek. The fencing and landscaping kept them safely in the enclosed area, which was ideal with four dogs. Everyone came home happy and tired, and I’ll definitely be back.

Simon and Lexi had such a great time wading through the creek, chasing after balls and jumping through the tall grass! This is the spot that wears them out for the rest of the day! By far my favorite spot! So much to do and see here! Todd even gave me a dozen fresh chicken eggs!

Best day ever for Lola! She had so much fun splashing in the creek, running around and trying to find gophers. Fresh water, poo bags, even binoculars if you wanna bird watch is provided. We saw the horses and she gave ‘em a few barks but didn’t go near them. We passed the chicken coop and she wasn’t interested. Bonus points for the music playing as you enter but you can’t hear it when you’re near the creek. Very peaceful dog park.

Super big and well maintained place! My dog stared at the chickens and horse! Had a blast in the water!

What a wonderful property! Max had so much fun exploring the creek and playing Chuck-it, I appreciated the attention to detail with places for humans to sit, dog toys, water for dogs, and a place to dispose of waste. Thank you for sharing your special place!

This is SUCH a great spot! Our pups had a blast in the creek, eating fresh grasses, exploring, and came home tired! Super nice, welcoming host! Thank you so much for all the work you put into your space and for sharing it with us sniffers!! 🐾💕

Such a cool place with tons of things for dogs to explore! The creek is great, it was just deep enough that the dog felt like he’d had a genuine swim, but it never went over his head if they aren’t a strong swimmer. The yard had tall bush within the mowed lawn which created fun runways along with tall grass. My dogs also got to see the chickens that were in their range and saw the horses since they had come over to the fence line to check us out; I enjoyed and appreciated the chance to expose them to things they hadn’t seen before (respecting the animals and our distance of course). The owner works very hard on this spot and even gave us flowers and fresh eggs to purchase on our way out<3

I had a fantastic experience that was worth it. You won't be disappointed. The host was incredibly kind, helpful, and generous, willing to assist in any way. The property and space are truly remarkable. I have two dogs that love to run and play in the water, and we have always enjoyed such places. This one was particularly outstanding. It will

We had such a good time!!! We couldn’t get enough of the creek and the hills throughout!! We hope to visit again soon! 🥰👍🏼

I loved this space almost as much as our dogs did— a stunning property that had lots of room for our dogs to run, play, and swim. It was well-maintained, safe, and secure (extra impressive considering the large size). Our dogs were in heaven. Would love to be back soon.

What a fun Sniffspot. It’s so neat that it is fully fenced. The area with the creek was such a fun place for the 5 month old lab I brought to explore. She hopped in and out of the water for the whole hour. We enjoyed walking around the mowed paths, crossing the bridges and saying hi to the chickens. Thank you for the flowers as well.

This is an ideal SniffSpot for dogs working on their off leash skills! There is a creek that runs through the property and our dog was in heaven! It was so fun to see her sniff and explore. We have a happy puppy - and that is what it’s all about! 🤗🤩🤗

Linda S.

This is a great spot! Lots of room to run and a lot of creek area to explore. It was my dogs first time around water and it’s a great place for that. My dog had a blast and it really wore him out!

One of the best sniffspots we’ve been to! Felt very secure (even for my 30-lb explorer) and private - we got to meet Todd as we were leaving but otherwise didn’t see or hear anyone besides the horses next door and a mail truck going down the road. There’s a nice natural vegetation barrier from the horses, so your doggos have to try to get right up to the fence and Todd’s added some cones/signs to help mark a safe distance. Both my pups loved exploring the creek and chasing each other through the trails in the tall grass. Todd has thought of everything you could want - fresh water, seating, shade, toys to borrow, trash for poops - and everything is clearly marked which is so appreciated. It’s a long drive for us, but worth it and we will be back!

Our dogs had an amazing time! They loved the water and there was a lot of space for them to roam and run around. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and will be coming back!

Our dog's favorite sniff spot so far! A walk through an open wooded area leads down to a field with a creek running through it. Cute covered area to sit while your dogs play. Our dogs had so much fun. Thank you!

Great small dog-friendly spot with lots to sniff. Our pups loved it! Todd was very kind and I definitely recommend getting some fresh eggs while you are there!

FAQ about our Poulsbo dog beaches

Are dog beaches safe?

While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.

How can I find dog beaches near me?

There are 3 dog beaches in the Poulsbo area. The most popular dog beach is Tripper's Creekside Fenced Park 5.9Acre RAIN SHELTER & FULL LIGHTS for After Dark Water Training Obstacles Picnic Table Chairs. You can browse all of our dog beaches here.

How do I know if a dog beach works for my dog?

Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog beach sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.

What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?

We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.

Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?

No. We only allow one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits. So when you book a Sniffspot park you have the entire place to yourself and your dog-owning friends if you invite them. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings so you will not run into other park patrons when coming or leaving.

How much do Sniffspot dog beaches cost?

Dog beaches in the Poulsbo area range from $10.0 and $25.0. The least expensive dog beach is Camp Dilly Dally Doggie Park In Buckley. The most expensive dog beach is Tripper's Creekside Fenced Park 5.9Acre RAIN SHELTER & FULL LIGHTS for After Dark Water Training Obstacles Picnic Table Chairs. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.

Can I have an event or party at a dog beach?

If you are planning an amazing dog beach party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
