      Dogs are not Allowed on the BEACH

      You can take a dog and leave it in the car. Not an option in this heat. Dogs are not allowed on the beach whatsoever. Leave Fido home.

      Not for dogs

      Dogs allowed except for on the beaches. Nothing but parking lots and beaches except for a small area with picnic tables. beautiful beaches but not worth the 9 $ ( 6 $ toll and 3$ park entry) if you are bringing a dog and have to take turns to go see the beach

      Beautiful place

      You can access the beach from several streets on Gasparilla Island. Some say dogs are not allowed, but a few don’t have signs saying if allowed or not. We read on google several comments saying dog owners had taken their well behaved fur babies and decided to go ourselves. We kept out girl on the leash the whole time, and did see several other doggos, some off leash. We will be returning to this beach definitely!

      Not many places to go

      Came in August and parked near the lighthouse. Places for the dog to go were extremely limited.
