East End Beach – Portland, ME – Living with a Golden

East End Beach in Portland, Maine is a small but popular dog friendly beach in the city. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, East End Beach allows dogs to be off-leash and under voice control before 9:00 AM and after 5:00 PM. No dogs are allowed between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM during the summer season. During the off-season, dogs are allowed off-leash and under voice control all day. This sand and pebble covered beach isn’t the prettiest beach in the area, but it is located along the Eastern Promenade which makes it a great place to end a scenic dog walk with a game of fetch and a dip in the water. Parking is available at the nearby boat launch, and public restrooms are also located there.
