What better way to enjoy your next beach vacation than to take Fido or Fifi along for the ride! The best part about choosing Hilton Head for your next Pet Friendly vacation is the realative “dog friendly” atmosphere you’re sure to enjoy.
Sun, water and sand are a ball-doggie’s dream as you wander the beaches and parks that surround Hilton Head Island. Just remember, Dogs are banned from the public beach from June 1 through Labor Day weekend - but from October 1 through March 31 - they can play off-leash to their heart’s content. Other time’s they’re allowed but need a 6-foot leash from 10am to 5pm.
Activities for you and your pooch are sure to be fun and a great photo op. You can rent a double kayak from Kayak Hilton Head and use their private access to Broad Creek - which runs right through the center of the island. A bottlenose dolphin might even nudge alongside to say hello!
Visit Best Friends Dog Park which is located off Hwy 40. Dogs are allowed unleashed in the park and leashed outside on the beaches. Water and cleanup bags are available on-site.
Take your pooch for lunch at Skillet’s Cafe. It’s cafe with an oudoor patio where dogs are allowed - just make sure Rover is leashed and under your control at all times.
Obviously finding accommodations for you and your pup on the island will be necessary. There are a variety of hotels and pet-friendly Hilton Head rentals. I recommend a vacation rental mostly because of the convenience for you AND your pet.
