While <a href=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/2022\/08\/dog-friendly-cape-cod-ma\/\">Cape Cod is dog friendly<\/a>, and a favorite vacation location of ours, Provincetown takes it up a notch. Here you will find pristine dog friendly beaches in the Cape Cod National Seashore and an abundance of dog friendly activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your day with a cup of artisan coffee (or tea) and a pastry from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joecoffeeptown.com\/\">Joe Coffee and Tea<\/a>. They have outdoor seating where your pup can join you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, take a stroll along the MacMillan Pier. Here you will find small shops selling handmade goods. This is also where you can find the ferries and Whale Watching tours. <a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dolphin Fleet Whale Watching<\/a> allows well-behaved pups on their boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the whale watching tour take your dog to the Pilgrim Bark Park. Here they can get some <a href=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/2023\/02\/cape-cod-off-leash-dog-parks-trails-beaches\/\">off-leash time<\/a> and you can admire the beautiful sculptures made by local artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a little time to relax, <a href=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/2023\/02\/dog-friendly-breweries-vineyard-cape-cod\/\">Provincetown Brewing Co<\/a>. will welcome you and your pup on their outside patio.

Mount Desert Island, ME<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mount Desert Island is another place known for fun vacations with plenty of dog friendly activities. Mt Desert Island is best known for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/acad\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acadia National Park<\/a> and Bar Harbor. Both of which sits on its shores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acadia National Park is one of the few National Parks that is truly dog friendly. Dogs are allowed on most of its 125 miles of hiking trials and all of the carriage roads. If you and your dog love to hike and take in breathtaking vistas this is the perfect vacation for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just be warned, we did this trip with our very active, English Springer Spaniel. Even she was exhausted after each mountain hike. But you don&rsquo;t have to hike to the summit to enjoy the park, there are plenty of ways to see the sites in Acadia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way is to drive to the summit of Cadillac Mountain to watch the sunrise. Another is to walk along the easy Ocean Path trial. This trail will lead you to the famous Thunder Hole. An underwater sea cave that can produce thundering crashes when the tide hits just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you rather not drive you can take the Island Explorer, which has stops throughout the island. Leashed dogs are allowed to ride the bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are ready for a break from all that walking take a trip with the <a href=\"https:\/\/downeastwindjammer.com\/cruises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Downeast Windjammer Cruise <\/a>Line to explore Frenchman Bay. Sea loving dogs are allowed on their cruises and ferries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the day is done you will find that Bar Harbor makes the perfect home base for your trip. Here you will find plenty of dog friendly restaurants and accommodations to rest up for the extra day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#top\">^ return to top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Island-Vacations-Block-Island-RI.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Island-Vacations-Block-Island-RI.jpg 300w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Island-Vacations-Block-Island-RI-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Island-Vacations-Block-Island-RI-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Island-Vacations-Block-Island-RI.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18460 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Island-Vacations-Block-Island-RI.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Island-Vacations-Block-Island-RI-150x150.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Island-Vacations-Block-Island-RI-200x200.jpg.webp 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Island-Vacations-Block-Island-RI.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shore on Block Island &ndash; Credit Happyoodles.com <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-3-block-island-ri\">3.

The Island is well known for its miles of free sandy beaches, sparkling clear waters, high bluffs and friendly people. You can just feel the stress of everyday life stripe away as you step off the ferry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the island&rsquo;s beaches are dog friendly with the exception of the beaches that have lifeguards. Plus, there are miles of hiking trails, beautiful lighthouses, and peaceful roads to enjoy a leisurely ride around the island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&rsquo;re done exploring the island you can head back to the town of New Shoreham.

Plus, you will find plenty of dog friendly dining patios in the town.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#top\">^ return to top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Vacations-San-Diego-California3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Vacations-San-Diego-California3.jpg 300w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Vacations-San-Diego-California3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Vacations-San-Diego-California3-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Vacations-San-Diego-California3.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20825 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Vacations-San-Diego-California3.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Vacations-San-Diego-California3-150x150.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Vacations-San-Diego-California3-200x200.jpg.webp 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/happyoodles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Happyoodles.com-Dog-Friendly-Vacations-San-Diego-California3.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-24\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"29-24-san-diego-california\">24.
