With endless views surrounding your every corner, and national parks at your fingertips, Bar Harbor is a perfect vacation destination. You can roam the world-famous trails of Acadia National Park, which offers select leash-free areas for you and your dog to explore. Also, you and your dog can take a swim at the Little Long Pond, which offers clean lake water and miles of trails to cover. Staying over? Try the Balance Rock Inn, a luxurious resort with room for your pets for only a small fee. Bar Harbor is a great place to visit if you’re looking for a fun and active getaway.
2] Nantucket, Massachusetts: Just thirty miles off of Cape Cod lies the coastal island of Nantucket. With its low-key vibe and pet-friendly environment, Nantucket is the perfect place to relax with your pup. There are numerous beaches and trails for you and your pup to explore. Dionis Beach offers calm waters, so you don’t have to worry about the waves being too strong for your pup. You can even go sailing with your pet at Endeavor Sailing Excursions.
