See Fido Run, Play, Dine and Stay
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-drawn 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 cafe. 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 Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve allows leashed dogs on the trails, but not on the beach.
IT’ S A PET PARADISE

CHOW TIME
Tantalizing aromas emanating from restaurants with outdoor seating will have pets and their humans licking their chops. Savor brats and brew at Meehan’ s Irish Pub or elegant cuisine in the Raintree Restaurant courtyard. At Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa in Ponte Vedra Beach, pets are invited to join their families at meal time at the American Gator Club and Cabana Beach Club’ s Sea Porch. Salty dogs can enjoy meals at the beach at Salt Life Food Shack and The Original Café Eleven.
STAY IN STYLE
Let sleeping dogs lie at one of nearly 50 petfriendly accommodations, including upscale hotels, B & Bs and beach resorts like Saint Augustine Beach House. At Beacher’ s Lodge Oceanfront Suites, pets receive a dog tag with hotel information to keep their dog safe in case they wander off, and owners get clean-up bags and a list of pet-friendly attractions.
