Sunset Beach allows dogs, but they must be leashed at all times. From the Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day, dogs are not allowed on the beach from 8am through 6pm.

Located along the Intracoastal Waterway, Barefoot Landing naturally combines beauty and nature with fun and excitement for the entire family. Migratory waterfowl, exotic fish and wildlife make Barefoot Landing their home. A stroll along the boardwalk or the dock is reminiscent of an old fishing village. As gentle breezes blow across the 23-acre lake, the temptation to sit and relax is overwhelming. Pets are most welcome on a leash. Shopping, dining, and entertainment in a natural atmosphere is the essence of Barefoot Landing. Several restaurants encourage patrons to dine with their pets in outside seating areas. And don't forget to visit Faux Paws for novelty items, t-shirts, toys, costumes, gourmet treats and even a photo op' for Fido.

This clean, attractive park is a favorite with local pet owners, who are welcome to bring their dogs on-leash, and often hosts community events.

With several different nature trails and a boardwalk over the waterway, Vereen Memorial Park and Gardens is a great place to bring your 4 legged friend. All dogs required to be on a leash and potty bags are available to clean up after your pet.
