Coasterra is the best dog-friendly-restaurants in Point Loma — scored 85/100 in our citywide ranking. The best skyline view of any dog-friendly patio in San Diego. Also worth the trip: Bali Hai.
| Place | Area | What to get | Price | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coasterra | Harbor Island | Ceviche, margarita, skyline view | $22–38 | 85 |
| Bali Hai | Shelter Island | Mai Tai, Polynesian plates | $20–36 | 81 |
The best skyline view of any dog-friendly patio in San Diego.
Coasterra's waterfront patio faces the downtown skyline directly, and dogs are welcome on the outdoor deck. The modern Mexican menu is priced for the view, but there is no better dog-friendly sunset table in the county.
Local tip: Book for sunset — the downtown view across the bay is the reason to come.
A San Diego classic with bay views and dog-friendly outdoor seating.
Bali Hai's outdoor seating overlooks the bay toward downtown, and dogs are welcome outside. The Polynesian menu is more nostalgic than exceptional, but the setting has been a local landmark since 1954.
Local tip: The Mai Tai is famously strong — order one, not two, if you're walking the dog after.
