New Jersey - March 16, 2026 - A new study released by BeachEverywhere highlights the growing popularity of dog-friendly beaches across the United States and identifies some of the best coastal destinations for travelers who want to bring their pets along.
With more Americans traveling with their dogs than ever before, pet-friendly destinations have become a major trend in tourism. Beaches that welcome dogs offer a unique outdoor experience where pets can run, swim, and enjoy wide open shorelines.
To better understand which beaches provide the most welcoming environment for dogs, BeachEverywhere reviewed hundreds of beaches across the country using factors such as pet policies, designated dog areas, accessibility, and visitor popularity.
“Our goal was to help travelers easily discover beaches where dogs are welcome,” said a spokesperson for BeachEverywhere. “Many pet owners plan their vacations around places where their dogs can enjoy the outdoors with them.”
Top Dog-Friendly Beaches in the United States
The study identified several beaches that consistently stand out for their accessibility and popularity among dog owners.
Among the most dog-friendly beaches are:
• Dog Beach — Huntington Beach, California
• Fort De Soto Dog Beach — Florida
• Rosie’s Dog Beach — Long Beach, California
• Montrose Dog Beach — Chicago, Illinois
• Cannon Beach — Oregon
• Carmel Beach — California
• Jupiter Dog Beach — Florida
• Padre Island National Seashore — Texas
These beaches offer a combination of pet-friendly policies, wide shorelines, and scenic environments that make them attractive destinations for both people and their dogs.
Growing Demand for Pet-Friendly Travel
Pet travel has become one of the fastest-growing trends in tourism. Many travelers now actively look for destinations where their dogs are welcome.
Dog-friendly beaches provide an opportunity for outdoor recreation while allowing pets to remain part of the travel experience.
“As more travelers bring their dogs on vacation, beaches that allow pets are becoming increasingly popular,” the BeachEverywhere team noted.
