The Asbury Park Dog Beach
I was talking with my dog lover friends the other day, and realized there is yet another hidden treasure in this great community that I’d almost forgotten about. The Dog Beach. It’s a municipally sanctioned portion of the Asbury Park beach in which dogs are allowed to run – off leash, play, swim and generally have a kick-ass time with each other.
It’s located on the ‘surfers beach’, otherwise known as the 8th Ave. beach. Officially, dogs are allowed to run off-leash from 6:00 pm to 8:30 am each and every day.
It apparently is the busiest at 6:00 in the evening and again at 8:00 in the morning. I don’t have a dog (yet) but after spending a bit of time just watching, I couldn’t help but walk away with a soft spot in my heart, and an even deeper desire to own and care for one of those amazing creatures.
The dog beach is a wonderful place to totally get away, relax and really experience the freedom and serenity that we all desire to have in our life. It’s so clear and present in our ‘best friends’ and you can easily see why they – and their owners love it so much.
So if you live here in Asbury Park, or if your just down for the day shopping for a condo or vacation home….be sure to drop by the 8th Ave dog beach. You’re gonna love it!
