I'm not.

I am a dogaholic and do not plan on seeking treatment.

It can fix even the worst days.

Oh...and when my dog, Carolina and I are at the beach, tennis balls are LIFE.

But, as you hopefully know by now, a lot of beaches at the Jersey Shore are NOT dog-friendly. It really is oh so sad.

But thanks to BringFido.com, I was able to find multiple dog-friendly beaches throughout the Jersey Shore so you and your furry friend can have a Summer you won't forget.

And by the way, BringFido.com can give you information on dog-friendly beaches, parks, restaurants, hotels and so much more so be sure to utilize it!

LOOK: See America's 50 Best Beach Towns

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
