Are there Dog Friendly Boat Rides
In The Wildwood - Cape May Area?

are there any boat rides that allow medium sizes dogs in the Wildwood's or Cape May area? we are a family of five and would love to spend some time on the water. Or do you know of any charter boats that might be willing to allow the dogs? Thanks!

Hi Judy,
The general rule is that dogs are not allowed on the touring boats, though they are allowed on watercraft rentals for no additional fee. However, there are exceptions.

Here are two suggestions for a family & Pet friendly vacation on the water:

Cape May Whale Watcher
2nd Avenue & Wilson Drive
Cape May,NJ
609-884-5445
Dogs are welcome aboard the 110 foot Cape May Whale Watcher for the whale and dolphin tours for no additional fee. Dogs must be well behaved, and under their owner's control at all times.

Miss Chris Marina
1218 Wilson Drive
Cape May, NJ
609 884 3351
The Miss Chris Marina offers 4, 6 and 8 Hour Fishing Boats along with top quality charter boats, Kayak Rentals, Boat Rentals, Whale and Dolphin Watching, Bird Watching, Dinner Cruising, Sightseeing Tours, Lighthouse tours, and more. Located at the entrance to Cape May, behind Captains Cove Restaurant and Cape May Antiques, near the Lobster House and Garden State Parkway.

Enjoy your family outing.

Places For Pets In NJ?

by Melissa
(New Jersey)

My family and I want to take a trip for a day or two, to see some sights in NJ. Where are fun places to go for a family that includes a dog?

Hi Melissa:
New Jersey has many fun places that are pet friendly, however, many of the places such as beaches have restrictions on pets during the summer months.

Here are a few summer fun places that are dog friendly:
Sunset Beach
Cape May Point, NJ
Famous for it's sunset flag ceremonies and the concrete ship of Atlantus which since 1926 has been "grounded" at Cape May Point.
Dog owners are advised that they are to clean up after their dog.

Fairwiew Farm Wildlife Preserve<
2121 Larger Cross Road
Bedminster, NJ
908-234-1852
A dog friendly park with no picnic tables or play areas with an interest in preserving, educating, protecting, and providing a quality nature experience for wildlife inhabitants. Dogs are welcome here; they must be leashed and cleaned up after at all times. Dogs are allowed throughout the park and on the trails, they are not allowed in the ponds.

Wishing you a fun getaway with your pet,
