Parks
If you're looking for an off-leash experience, the Douglas Family Preserve is excellent.

It is important that your dog be okay with other dogs, however, as this is a popular place for running and fetching! Other great parks for leashed dogs are Chase Palm Park, Shoreline Park, Oak Park.

Beaches
Generally, it is forbidden to have dogs off leash during the summer but if you're here in the off-season, it's usually okay. Great beaches for dogs are the Carpinteria State and Local Beach, the stretch of unnamed beach below Shoreline Park and west of Leadbetter Beach, which you can only get to during low tide, and El Capitan Beach is wonderful if you don't mind a bit of a drive.
