What to Do When Staying at Panama City Beach Pet-Friendly Rentals

A woman with her dog on the beach, one of the best things to do when staying at pet-friendly rentals in Panama City Beach.

When planning your next vacation, choose a destination that allows you to bring the whole family along, including the four-legged members. A great way to do this is by staying at one of the Panama City Beach pet-friendly rentals from Sail Away Vacation Rentals. These incredible accommodations are the ideal place for you and your furry friends to relax after a day of fun.

Before you arrive, we recommend researching dog-friendly Panama City Beach activities, attractions, and businesses. This will help take any worry or guesswork out of planning your adventures each day. To help give you a head start, we’ve compiled a list of some of our favorites.

Dog-Approved Parks

Some of Panama City Beach’s most popular parks welcome two- and four-legged visitors. There’s even a dedicated dog beach on the west side of the Russel-Fields City Pier. Frank Brown Park has two off-leash play areas, one for small and older dogs and the other for larger, high-energy pets. Another great option is Conservation Park, which allows leashed dogs on the trails that wind through stunning scenery.

Things to Do with Your Pup

Your fun isn’t limited to letting your dog run around a park or along a trail. There are also several pet-friendly activities to enjoy. Book a private tour with Coastal Wildlife Adventures, which can last from two to eight hours. Hideaway Pontoon Rentals offers spacious pontoon rentals that allow dogs.

Pooch-Friendly Restaurants

After a day out in the sun, sometimes the last thing you feel like doing is cooking. Luckily, there are plenty of Panama City Beach restaurants that welcome dogs. The city tries to keep an up-to-date list, but we recommend calling a restaurant ahead of time to confirm. This list includes Margaritaville, Salty Sue’s, the food court at Pier Park, Diego’s Burrito Factory, and First Watch.
