We are thrilled to share that there are many places where your furry friends are welcome to explore and run free!

Doggie Beach - Nahant, MA

One of our favorite spots is a beautiful beach known as Doggie Beach.

Located in Nahant, Massachusetts, (at the end of the Causeway) Doggie Beach is a fantastic destination for dog walking and outdoor fun. We've brought our dogs here, and they give it two paws up! The beach offers ample space for your pooch to roam, play, and enjoy the seaside atmosphere.
