Pet owners are feeling the love on Florida ’ s Historic Coast . From sidewalk water bowls to pet-friendly hotels , the ancient city ’ s attitude toward furry friends is as warm as a wagging tail . In St . Augustine you can ride with Rover in a horse and carriage or float with Fido on a scenic boat tour . You might stroll 16th-century lanes with your best friend by your side , then lunch at a lively sidewalk café . Here ’ s a sampling of places on Florida ’ s Historic Coast that welcome pets .
SALTY DOGS
Well-behaved , leashed dogs may visit most St . Johns County Beaches , as long as their owners clean up after them . Anastasia State Park allows leashed dogs in the campground , but not on the beach . And the GTM Research Reserve allows leashed dogs on the trails , but not on the beach .
