Pets, Policies and Packages

Pets & Pet Policy

We only allow dogs in designated rooms only with two queen beds. Dogs are NOT allowed in any other rooms unless it is a registered service animal.

These rooms must be booked in advance to ensure that we will have one available for you upon check in.  Please let us know at time of Booking so that we can guarantee

one for your stay.  Dogs are $25 more per night for one dog, and $5.00 per each additional dog per night.

The owners of the Emerald Dolphin are pet lovers just as we know you are. We understand that for many of us, they are a part of our family and like to travel with us.
Fortunately, we have a fabulous location for pets. We not only have a large grassy field, but access to paved walking trails with a gorgeous view of the Pacific and a secluded beach that is perfect for your pet on a leash.

 

Below you will find lots of great information on where you and Fido will be most comfortable and to ensure you both have an amazing time here on the Mendocino Coast!

Pet Friendly Beaches and Parks

We want you and your dog to enjoy our wonderful beaches, but please be careful not to disturb resting and nesting birds, especially rare or endangered species like the Snowy Plover. Some beaches are off limits to dogs, even on a leash. Here are some dog friendly beaches.  Most require leashes unless otherwise specified.

 

The only off-leash beach in Fort Bragg is only 3/4 mile from the Emerald Dolphin Inn called Noyo Beach. It is located off South Harbor Ave (under Noyo Bridge) in Fort Bragg on the North side of Noyo Bay.

There is another off leash beach just North of Fort Bragg about 10 miles called Seaside beach. There are no signs at this beach, just a dirt parking area alongside the highway where you can literally step off the highway to the sandy beach!  Ten Mile beaches are also a great place to walk your dog and most is privately owned without dog expressed restrictions.

 

MacKerricher State Park and Ten Mile River & Beach requires all dogs on leashes. It is a great area to visit and bring your dog, but it is the home of many of the endangered birds. Park signage explains where dogs are not welcome but dogs are allowed nearly everywhere on a leash.

 

Pudding Creek Beach is a great place to bring your leashed dog. Or walk "over" it across the newly restored Pudding Creek Trestle accessed off Elm Street (Turn West on Elm Street and right onto the street just past Denny's restaurant and Hay Wire Western shop. Follow through residential area to parking area and entrance to trestle. You can walk for several miles on the old Ten Mile Haul Road right along the ocean bluffs.

 

Big River Beach is a beautiful beach to take your leashed dog. Just South of Fort Bragg in Mendocino, you will find Big River Beach. Driving South, just past the last of three exits into Mendocino, turn left immediately before the Big River bridge.

 

MCDOG Park - Maple and Lincoln Street by the Aquatic center, Fort Bragg. Off leash area for dogs!  (Turn on Maple off Main Street and it will dead end into the parking lot)

Mendocino Dog Park- 998 School Street, Mendocino

 

Pet Friendly Dining

We know dining with your furry friend is a challenge. Here are some restaurants where you can dine together and your friend does not have to wait in the car!
