Your dogs can live their best lives in Torrance. We’ve got nothing but love for all our furry friends and it shows. Around town, you’ll find lodging, outdoor activities, restaurants and breweries that happily cater to your canines or any of your adorable pets.
With your best friend in tow, it’s important to pick a hotel where both will be comfortable. Allow us to share our recommendations.
Spend some time relaxing with your fur babies at Sonesta Select Los Angeles Torrance South Bay or Sonesta ES Suites Torrance Redondo Beach. At both locations, your pet will be treated to special gifts like bowls, waterproof mats and treats at check-in. Two pets are allowed per suite and there are no restrictions on breed or weight.
Pets are also welcome at the Extended Stay America Los Angeles – Del Amo Circle and Extended Stay America Los Angeles – Torrance Blvd, the Torrance Blvd. spot being just a short distance from dog parks where they can play. Up to two pets can share your spacious suite, however pets taller than 36 inches or longer than 36 inches would need manager approval.
The Ramada Torrance also offers an ideal location for you to cuddle with your loved one after a day of fun. Two small pets or one large pet are allowed per room there.
After a good night’s rest at the Residence Inn Los Angeles Torrance/Redondo Beach, your pets will be raring to tackle the dog-friendly hiking trails at the nearby Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. Two pets are allowed per room with a 60-lb weight limit at this location.
Rudy’s in Old Torrance is a regular pup hangout with lots of sidewalk seating. Plus, their breakfast and lunch are amazing. Try the John Wayne breakfast – a tortilla topped with home fries, two fried eggs, cheese, Spanish sauce and sausage.
With a name like Lazy Dog, it should come as no surprise that this spot is especially pup-friendly. Along with their menu full of pasta, pizza, wok-fired dishes, and burgers, they also offer a special dog menu with grilled hamburger patties, grilled chicken, rice and veggie options. The restaurant is located in Del Amo Fashion Center, which features many pet-friendly seasonal events like doggie photoshoots.
Your proud pup will also be greeted at Madre!, an Oaxacan restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating and a perfect spot for people-watching.

With more than 30 parks and 90,000 trees, your furry friend may be in hound heaven. Most parks – although not all – allow visitors to walk their dogs as long as they’re on a 6-foot leash and all doggie deposits are picked up. Miramar Park, for example, offers walking trails and ocean views for a dreamy parent-pooch adventure.
Torrance Park is another prime spot to take your pup. Lots of locals walk their dogs in this 10-acre park amidst its tall shady trees and a rose garden. There’s also a playground, BBQ sites and picnic benches if you’d like to hang out a while.

There are also more than 40 dog-friendly hiking trails within 20 miles of Torrance, providing exercise for you and your pooch.
We know that pups love all the sun that they can get – especially beachside. Note that Torrance Beach currently prohibits dogs, but there are plenty of walking paths above the beach that will give Fido a perfect view.
After a day of taking in all that Torrance offers outdoors—or indoors—kicking back and enjoying a cold one sounds like a great idea for you and your best bud.
