Spread out over 26,607 acres in New Jersey and the Port of New York, the Gateway National Recreation Area includes three units, two states, eleven parks, beaches, sport terrains, marinas, and historic sites. It is one of the most popular urban recreation areas in this part of the country and is used by ten million people every year. Dog owners and their furry friends can go to the Sandy Hook Unit and have fun on the bayside beach from March 15 to Labor Day and to Horseshoe Cove year round but on a leash. The owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dog.
