Our pets are the most loyal family members in our lives, but we often repay their loyalty and generosity by leaving them behind whenever we take a vacation. While we are seeing the sights, working on our tans, or dining on gourmet meals, our poor fur babies are left at home in the care of strangers, sleeping in unfamiliar cages and probably thinking they will never see their human parents again. Those of you who manage to bring your pups along on vacation may find it difficult to find things to do with them while out and about, so we at Prominence on 30A have compiled this list of pet friendly activities on 30A to ensure that both fur baby and human parent have the time of their lives during their Florida vacation! Learn about the 30a pet-friendly activities below:
Let’s Go to the Beach
Many dogs like to play on the beach as much as we do, but not all beaches are pet friendly; Dog Beach at Pier Park in Panama City Beach, however, is one that you can safely bring Spot and have the time of your life! Leashes are required, and pets are only allowed on the left side of the pier as you are standing on Front Beach Road. Pet-friendly in 30a has something for everyone!
Take a Hike
Conservation Park, also in Panama City Beach, is home to over 24 miles of hiking trails which are perfect for helping your pet walk off any excess energy. With over 12 trails ranging in length from about a mile to 11 miles long, it’s easy to find a trail that matches both human and animal strength. Again, leashes are required, so please follow the rules!
Grab a Bite to Eat
When it’s time to eat dinner, you don’t need to leave Fido home alone, just bring him along! The Old Florida Fish House at 5235 East County Highway 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, Hammerhead’s Bar & Grille at 137 Fisherman’s Cove in Destin, and Salty Sue’s at 17501 Back Beach Road in Panama City Beach are just a few of the many restaurants along 30A that serve tasty meals and are pet friendly as well!
Dogs Like to Shop, Too
Especially when you take them to places like The Doggy Bag at 34904 Emerald Coast Parkway in Destin. This doggy dream shop sells pet food, toys, pet clothing, and homemade doggie treats that will show your fur baby exactly how much they mean to you!
30a Pet Friendly
It’s time to treat the ENTIRE family to a once-in-a-lifetime tropical retreat!
