Island Beach State Park

On the Manasquan Inlet, Fisherman's Cove Conservation Area is the last undeveloped land. Fishing, walking on the beach, and sunbathing are all popular activities on the 55-acre estate. Dogs are welcome on the beach's eastern half, but they must be kept on a leash at all times to protect the fragile coastal ecosystem. The beach's western half has been marked as "dog free."

Pets are welcome at 8th Avenue Dog Beach. Plan an off-leash frolic at Asbury Park's 8th Avenue Dog Beach if your dog was born to run. Jump in the water with your dog for a nice swim after a game of fetch or Frisbee. Between mid-September and mid-May, dogs are always welcome on the beach. If you visit during the summer, go early in the morning or late in the evening, as dogs are not allowed between 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

In honor of Alex Ching, a dog park is being built at Bayonet Farm. Alex Ching found enormous satisfaction in the little things in life.

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.

Longport Dog Beach (also known as Somers Point Dog Beach, Malibu Beach, or just Dog Beach) is an off-leash dog beach located near the Malibu Beach Wildlife Management area where dogs of all sizes can enjoy the sand and sea. The beach is located on the Longport side of the Ocean Drive Bridge, across from the fishing pier. Owners are responsible for bringing their own water and waste disposal equipment. Because there are no trash cans on site, be prepared to dispose of all rubbish somewhere.

Within a 60-acre woodland park, there is a 9-acre enclosed dog park for off-leash strolling. On the many paths in the region, dogs must be on a leash. They can swim on a tiny lake nearby. There are playgrounds, restrooms, picnic tables, and chairs located throughout the park. There are also paved trails.
