Paws on
the Coast
It’s understandable how impawsible it is to leave your beloved furry family member behind. With pet lovers
in mind, many Clearwater Beach and neighboring hotels, resort properties and businesses are eager to host
you and your K-9 companion. Pet-friendly accommodations range from hotels, motels restaurants, activities,
services and events. Be sure to call the properties directly to book your pet-friendly reservation. Customize
your pet-friendly vacation by reviewing the options below to ensure a paw-sitively perfect vacation on
Clearwater Beach!
Sandy paws and wagging tails abound on the below sandy shores:
• NORTH Clearwater Beach (Pets are not permitted on South Clearwater Beach)
• Sand Key Park Dog Park
• Honeymoon Island Pet Beach
When traveling with dogs, one thing is certain. Poop happens. For those times when you forgot to pack
your poop bags and need to find the closest store in an unfamiliar town, or even worse, when you need to
find an emergency veterinarian open at 4:00am in the morning, here is a Clearwater Beach and neighboring
directory of pet friendly businesses and services.
Pardon the interrufftion! Fido must don a leash and human companions are required to clean-up after their
furry friend. For the safety of all patrons on the beach, canine and human alike, please supervise your pet
carefully when off leash and only unleash on the sand with reliable voice command and recall.
