TRAVELING with your pet
Your pet just might be everyone’s favorite family member, so
why leave kitty or pup behind when you take to the road for a fun
getaway?
Stop by Yappy Hour at Asbury Park’s Wonder Bar, where
contented canines romp through a large fenced outdoor area
and two-legged family members enjoy cocktails. The iconic bar
with the grinning face of Tillie, 1213 Ocean Avenue, is just off
the boardwalk. Weather permitting, Yappy Hour runs from 4 to 8
pm on Thursdays and Fridays and 12 to 8 pm on Saturdays and
Sundays, with Mondays reserved for small dogs only, 4 to 8 pm.
Check out Wonder Bar Yappy Hour on Facebook.

dog area, or visit Wolf Hill Recreation Area in Oceanport,
a four-acre open area with two leash-free zones. Check

NOTE: Most parks welcome leashed pets. However, many
beaches and boardwalks strictly limit pet access during peak
dates and hours, so please check in advance to avoid surprises.
