"Dog-friendly vacations on the East Coast are pure joy—for both of us: beaches with room to run, trails made for wagging tails, and cozy stays that welcome my four-legged best friend like family. It’s the kind of trip where muddy paws and sunset walks are the highlights."
I’m sipping coffee outside a coastal café, leash in one hand and a happy pup by my side, sea breeze ruffling our hair—all in a place where we’re both free to roam. Who knew travel could be this easy with a dog in tow?
In Bar Harbor, Maine, Acadia National Park opens up carriage roads and ocean trails where leashes lead to adventure. Asheville, North Carolina has dog-friendly breweries, mountain hikes, and pet-welcoming cabins with views for days. Cape May, New Jersey offers sandy stretches and a charming town vibe where pups can play and dine al fresco. And down in Charleston, South Carolina, we stroll historic streets, splash on pet-approved beaches, and unwind in boutique stays that say “dogs welcome” with open arms.
