    Great beach for the pup!

    later in the day, there are less people and you can let your pup run around!

    Great State Park!

    This is a great State Park to visit (for free!). Great trails to walk on, beach to stroll on and Fort Macon is cool to explore. Dogs are allowed everywhere but inside buildings. Well worth a visit!

    nice place to bring the pup

    Great nature trail, lots of open space, beautiful ocean view. We set up on a blanket overlooking the ocean. Very peaceful. :)
