The old Naval Air Station has paved paths along the old runways, and one unpaved path, to a beach at the northwest tip of the peninsula. This small beach is 1/2 mile from the parking lot and lies across Dorchester Bay from UMass. There is a leash requirement in the park, but friendly dogs play and swim at the beach when there are no other people there. PLEASE ALWAYS clean up after your dog so that we can continue to use this spot! There are trash barrels but you have to bring your own bag.

In the back very back of the dog park in Pelham bay park
Dyker Beach Park includes a large, grassy dog run with a secure entrance where your pet can play off-leash.
This secret little bay area is open to anyone and dogs are welcome here. I have brought my GSD here about 5 times already and he enjoys swimming and retrieving. I suggest walking a bit past the entrance since families like to swim and hang out there. Walking further down the beach becomes more private and letting your pal run off leash is definitely cool! The only drawback is people love to go on the weekend so during the week is best and there are annoying dirtbikers and atv’ers who drive around the further you walk away from the entrance of the marine park. Also the tide comes in around 7ish so if you walk far down the beach you will need to walk in water to get back to the entrance or use some trails but I never used them so I have no idea where they lead to.
Enjoy some beach frisbee or a casual stroll in the sand with your pup throughout the year at East Hampton Main Beach. Dogs are welcome off-leash anytime in the off-season. From the second Sunday in May through September 30, dogs are not permitted on the beach at all from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, daily. At all other times during the period from the second Sunday in May to September 30, dogs MUST be manually restrained on a leash within areas that are within 300 feet of any road end along the beaches. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets and keeping them under control. Plastic bags for clean-up are conveniently provided at the entrance to each village beach. The village actively patrols beaches and strictly enforces regulations.
Lake Moreau offers (on-leash) dog-friendly hiking trails. Pups can play in the lake away from main beach.
Truly dog friendly Beach on a Gorgeous lake! Abundant, well maintained fields as well.Parking is by meter and is $4.00 for 2 hours. Parking is limited. I went on a Sunday and got the last spot furthest from the beach, but the walk to the beach across a gorgeous green meadow became part of the adventure. It was crowded but, for the most part, all dogs were well behaved and properly handled. Leashes are required, so I brought my 20 foot biothane lead with me. We played and swam for two hours! Bring at least 2 floatable toss toys, your own poop bags, extra water for the pooch. If you prepare properly, you could swim/play in the morning, picnic lunch, and swim/play some more. Not necessarily a dog walking beach, more of beach access to a very clean lake for swimming with your pal. I assume there were human comfort stations, however as I was by myself with my Malinois, I was not able to explore that aspect. No photo’s because my hands were full (in the best way!!!) I am in Lake Placid NY on Mirror Lake for a 6 weeks and have yet to find entry here to the dog friendly beach.
Mirror Lake is a great place to bring Fido when you’re in Lake Placid. You can walk all the way around the lake on a 2.7 mile trail. Make sure you bring water and doggie clean-up bags, which are also available on the route around the lake. The water is absolutely clean and beautiful and we want to be sure this beach stays pet friendly forever! The beach is sandy and laid back and friendly dogs are welcome to take a dip with their owners as well. Just note that the village of Lake Placid has many events that are staged at this beach, including the famous Ironman competition, so be aware of the dates before you plan your visit.
This off-leash dog beach has no restrictions and is perfect for sandy playtime at low tide! Dogs can run and play in a mostly confined area (so no escapees), participating in activities such as safe swimming, digging, and wrestling with pals. It’s a great place to explore on the rocks or play fetch on the soft sand. Be sure to check the tides, because this area is best at low tide when the most sand is available for play.
This is a secluded beach only accessible by boat and no lifeguards. It is located on the very northern tip of Long Lake. Just head all the way north and you can’t miss it. Lots of nice sand, so bring sand toys for the kids and a beach blanket or sand chair. Many people bring their dogs and a wonderful time is had by all. We have been here twice and are going back this weekend. There are no docks, just pull your boat onto the beach, or anchor out and swim to shore. Mostly small boats are here, canoes, row boats and small motor boats.
Dogs are not allowed on the beaches between 9am and 6pm from May 15 through the end of September. No restrictions apply for the remainder of the year. Montauk has no leash laws and dogs may run on the beach with supervision when permitted. Owners are expected to exercise control, particularly on crowded beaches, and to clean up after their dogs. The beach can be accessed through several points along Old Montauk Highway or right in the center of town.
New Smyrna New Rochelle is a dog friendly beach for dogs during low tide.
Walk along the Block Island Heritage Trail with your pup to the stunning Mohegan Bluffs. Rising approximately 200 feet above the sea and stretching on for nearly three miles, the bluffs will provide you with unforgettable views and photo opportunities. There is a staircase to make the ascent and descent easier for humans and canines alike. Just make sure your pup is leashed at all times.
During peak season, which is Memorial Day to Labor Day, you can take dogs to the beach from 5:00 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. During off season, you can take them any time.
