Gateway National Recreation Area Sandy Hook Unit

Between specified dates, Sandy Hook/Gateway National Park is pet-friendly. Due to the piping plover season, dogs are not allowed on the ocean-side beaches at Sandy Hook Unit from March 15 to Labor Day. Pets are allowed on the bay-side beaches of Plum Island and Horseshoe Cove all year, but they must be kept on a leash at all times. Dog owners must dispose of all trash and make plans for disposing of dog waste. During the summer season, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, parking costs $20.

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.

The Asbury Park Boardwalk is now open to leashed dogs! This is the finest time to visit all of the historic sites.

Orchard Park is located in Wall Township/Manasquan on Church Street, just off Route 35. A dog park, sporting fields, playgrounds, a dunk court, basketball courts, tennis courts, and a walking path around the park that surrounds a picnic area with tables and benches can all be found at this location.

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