The Asbury Park Boardwalk is one of the best spots in New Jersey to have a stroll, do some shopping, have a bite to eat, or just people watch. Stretched between the Casino Building and Asbury Park Convention Center, it has breathtaking views of the ocean and miles of fine sandy beach. During the off-season, between September 16th and May 15th, you can bring your dogs to the boardwalk and the 8th Avenue Dog Beach. During the full summer season, dogs are allowed off-leash on the 8th Avenue Dog Beach between 6:00pm and 8:30am (please call and confirm beforehand). Only non-aggressive, licensed dogs are allowed on the dog beach and the owners have the obligation to make sure that they behave and to clean up after them.
8th Ave Dog Beach, 1740-1798 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, NJ 07712
