Pennington Park

From mid-September to mid-April, leashed dogs' paw prints can be spotted on the sand at Sunset Beach. The Grille has several dog-friendly outdoor tables if you feel hungry. Sunset Beach is also known for the SS Atlantus, a concrete ship that has been "ground" at Cape May Point since 1926. The flag ceremony, which takes place every night from May to September, is a great way to end your day.

Between Glenwood and Maple Avenues in Wildwood is the Wildwood Dog Park and Beach. NJ
