Dog Parks in Belmar, NJ

Enjoy the surf and boardwalk of Belmar with your pet.

Belmar is a vibrant beach town that becomes especially dog-friendly during the off-season. While summer months have restrictions, the boardwalk and local parks like Maclearie Park offer year-round opportunities for leashed fun.

Belmar, New Jersey, is a premier destination for those who love the beach and their dogs. This coastal borough is famous for its clean beaches and lively downtown area. During the off-season, typically from October 1st to April 30th, dogs are permitted on the Belmar beach and boardwalk, allowing for miles of invigorating walks by the surf. Throughout the year, Maclearie Park on Route 35 offers a lovely green space along the Shark River where leashed dogs can enjoy the breeze and watching the boats. The town's main street (Ocean Avenue) and the downtown area are filled with shops and cafes that often welcome pets at their outdoor tables. Belmar also hosts several community events throughout the year that are pet-inclusive, such as the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. For dog owners living at or visiting the shore, Belmar provides a perfect mix of oceanic beauty and community warmth.
