Tyson enjoying North Ocean Beach - first left after toll both, path furthest right facing water. Dogs allowed on non guarded areas only. North Ocean Beach has waves and many dogs playing. Restrooms (house w/ Porta potty type private stalls) available, outdoor shower, and snack shop by parking lot. This GPS address will take you to a building but continue straight over bridge until you reach fee booth ($25 for 1-7 day pass) and make immediate left. There is also a bayside beach (first right after fee booth) which is shallow and calm water but a very small beach area.
No dogs allowed on the beaches in Ocean City during the summer so came down to Assateague Island National Seashore. Lots of well behaved dogs having fun! After relaxing in the sun, Tupelo enjoyed playing in the surf and a nice Long Beach stroll. We ran into 15 horses two miles down the beach...WOW!!!
