Bring Along Your Four-Legged Friends
Florida’s Historic Coast
Rates Two Paws Up
We all love to travel with our friends – even our
four-legged ones. While many vacation spots
boast of pet-friendly hotels or dog-friendly
beaches, few destinations are as canine-centric
as Florida’s Historic Coast. Where else can you
take your dog along for a guided tour of a
museum, on a scenic ocean cruise, or a historic
walking tour created just for pups and their
people?
Leashed dogs are welcome in several area
attractions including the world famous
Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park, the
Colonial Quarter Museum and the Spanish
Military Hospital Museum.
St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra and The Beaches
have approximately 50 pet friendly
accommodations ranging in price points
and variety from hotels, to bed and breakfast
inns and beach resorts. Some even provide
welcome baskets for canine guests.
Your pet will find refreshing water bowls
outside shops in St. Augustine’s
historic district. In addition, more than 20
restaurants with outdoor dining options
welcome pets.
In designated areas of the beach, you can
enjoy a morning walk with your leashed pet.
And don’t forget dog parks. Florida’s Historic
Coast has five designated dog or dogfriendly parks.
