Alright folks, one day past my due date..continuing to distract myself through writing π
We found a beach in NH that Mizpah can be off leash on!!! Wooo!!! New Hampshire’s state beaches which include Hampton, North Hampton, Wallis Sands, Rye Harbor, and Jenness do not allow dogs EVER. These beaches do not allow dogs in the mornings, evenings, or in the off season. Now, we have of course seen violations of this rule in the off season, but we are rule followers. Rye NH has a stretch of beach that is considered to be a town beach though and before 9 AM, dogs are allowed under voice control! They even have the little dog poo bag stations for us responsible dog owners AND streetside parking is free! Its not the longest stretch of beach, and at high tide you definitely need to prepare to be in the surf with your pup BUT its still worth it for us. Changing up Mizpah’s scenery is great for her, and I love being at the beach. Alrighty, here are some pics of beautiful Rye Beach and our little pup romping through the surf!






The picnic area at Ray’s is dog friendly π These pics are from two different occasions in case you noticed that Mizpah has a harness on in some, and no harness in some ha. Going to the beach before 9AM means dealing with some haze, but it usually clears up a bit by the time we leave. Starting the day with a walk on the beach and a tired, happy pup is pretty great! We are so happy we found a close beach that is more dog friendly. The beaches in York ME are probably equally as close BUT pups have to be on leash. Hope you enjoyed the frolicking Mizpah pics!
This looks absolutely beautiful!! It’s crazy how hard it can be to find dog friendly beaches and parks in some places- I can understand not allowing off-leash dogs, but I will never understand banning them altogether π

I feel the same way! The state beaches in NH are so staunchly against dogs ever putting a paw in the sand, I wish there were some allowances for them. Kinda makes me want to become an activist of some sort ha! Start a petition…go to the state house, I don’t know. Thanks for reading! π
