Dog Friendly Beaches

I was trying to come up with a way to list dog friendly beaches, but realized that it would take hours and hours to compile the list for the United States. I don't want to just focus on NJ (where I'm from) because I'm hoping that this blog is reaching people all over the place! (So share, share, share! ;]) So if you want to take your dog to a dog friendly beach just leave your state in the comments section and I will do a post with the list for that state! General Beach Etiquette: Always keep your dog on a leash where there is a leash law Always, ALWAYS clean up after your dog Only let your dog visit people or other dogs unless welcomed or unless you ask if its okay Make sure that if you take your dog to an off leash area that he/she is well behaved and that you have complete control with the use of your voice Never leave your dog unsupervised Keep in mind: You should always bring plenty of water for your dog whenever you travel, and especially at the beach. Drinking too much saltwater can cause diarrhea and vomiting. If your dog has light skin and/or a pink colored nose apply sunscreen to avoid burning. The spray bottle sunscreen works especially well for dogs. Bring toys, towels, poop bags, treats, and whatever else you need to have a great time at the beach and a relaxing ride home! and remember if you're in NJ, keep your pet restrained in the car with either a doggie seat belt or leash.
