Bringing your furry best friend to the Hamptons? You’re in luck. The East End is one of the most pet-friendly destinations in New York, with scenic beaches, spacious parks, and outdoor cafés that welcome pups year-round.

Whether you’re planning a summer escape or a peaceful off-season getaway, here’s your go-to guide for enjoying the Hamptons with your dog.

Popular spots include:
