HI! I live north of Boston. Salisbury beach state park is dog friendly year round on the side of the river delta. I understand that there are beaches in Plymouth that are dog friendly as well. Also, There is Pierce Island in Portsmouth NH, which has a section that's basically a dog park (unfenced) with beach on a couple of sides and some little trails. I'll be following this thread as well to find out more

Thank you!! I haven't been to any of those areas but will definitely check them out!



Do you know if there are any GR meets in our area? from the forum or elsewhere? We are in North Boston as well

I haven't found specific golden meet ups around here. There was one in Plymouth. Maybe we could start one!

Tennyson, which specific beach are you referring to in those towns? In Ipswich for example I know Crane beach has the green dog program but it's only between October and May if I'm not mistaken. Any of those open to dogs year round?

Have you ever been to Breakheart Reservation? I know there's a dog park that's fenced there.. and I know there's water there but not sure if they allow dogs year-round..

I have been to Breakhart. Dogs aren't allowed on the beach in the summer. I don't remember the exact dates though, it may be that it's still ok until June 1st but you could probably find out online. If you keep walking past the beach to the right you find a couple of spots where dogs can access the water and swim in the summer but it's limited. It's a nice park though with many trails, worth a visit. The fenced area is only so so, kind of muddy and not well kept, most times I was there there weren't any dogs playing.

Look what I found! Seems like a pretty good list of the beaches nearby:
