Beaches and Bathing Facilties: Dogs are not allowed to enter any bathing facilities, including New York City beaches. However, as a courtesy, leashed dogs are allowed on the sand and boardwalk at Rockaway Beach, Coney Island & Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Midland Beach, and South Beach from October 1 until May 1.
Think a beach day might be in order, but not up to the busyness of Coney Island? Dogs are only permitted at Manhattan Beach from October 1st through May 30th, but your favorite canine pal may join you on the boardwalk or in the off-leash dog run year-round.
F. A. O. Schwarz doesn't allow dogs — don't cry, Lassie — and at Toys “R” Us in Times Square dogs must be in carriers. The weather matters, since you'll want to be outside as much as possible, and small dogs have it easier than big dogs.
To keep your dog safe, avoid the dog beach at the hottest parts of the day, and provide your pup with plenty of access to shade and fresh, cool water. Sure, you can play fetch with your dog—just make sure they have plenty of time to rest, get out of the sun and drink water in between games.
