Beach Haven Doggy Bay

Address: Taylor Ave, Beach Haven, NJ 08008

Leashes are required on the sand unless your dog is actively swimming, so this unfenced stretch of New Jersey shoreline works best for water-loving dogs with reliable recall. Boardwalk benches give owners a place to sit while the dogs wade in, and waste bags, trash cans, restrooms, and a parking lot are all on hand. It's a small beach, but local regulars give it a loyal following.
