Dog Park Locations

On-leash dogs are accepted. Near the shore, there is a picnic spot.

Lighthouse Point Park and Ponce Inlet Dog Beach is a lovely spot to unwind with Fido while taking in the beauty of the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. It's a fantastic location for taking shots, and they even give doggie waste bags. Because this is not an off-leash park, keep Fido on a leash at all times. Lighthouse Point Park, on the north side of the Ponce de Leon Inlet, allows leashed dogs on the inlet and river waterfront beach.

A separate tiny dog section, drinking fountains, and shade trees are all part of this popular enclosed dog park. While your pet is off-leash, take in the beautiful scenery.

This dog park features a lake for dogs to play in as well as shade buildings for humans. There are separate sections for little and large dogs, as well as bathrooms and a second entrance near the tiny dog area.

At Ft. Fisher State Park, dogs must be kept on a leash all year. This large beach is ideal for your dog to romp around on and swim with other canines. Laws governing pet waste disposal are stringent, and bags are given for this purpose. Please clean up after your dog so that we don't lose our dog privileges at this lovely beach!

In a big marked stretch of the beach in Fort Lauderdale, dogs are allowed off-leash. This dog park has dog bags, water, and beach showers. There's also a city officer on hand to assist with any issues and to police the rules at the beach. Although the beach is close to the road, the officer and dunes are both between the beach and the road, so parking is the only concern. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are the only days when the beach is open. Per dog, a one-weekend permit costs $7.

All year, leashed dogs are welcome on the beach. Pets should not be allowed in the dunes or in the region between South Dunes Picnic Area and 2,000 northeast of St. Andrews Picnic Area.

From mid-September to mid-April, leashed dogs' paw prints can be spotted on the sand at Sunset Beach. The Grille has several dog-friendly outdoor tables if you feel hungry. Sunset Beach is also known for the SS Atlantus, a concrete ship that has been "ground" at Cape May Point since 1926. The flag ceremony, which takes place every night from May to September, is a great way to end your day.

A modest pavilion, grill, picnic shelter, benches along the footbridge, restrooms, drinking fountain, and outside showers are all part of this 9.1-acre community beach area. Wheelchair access is available at one of the three dune crosses. Canova Beach Park is the only dog-friendly beach in Brevard County. All dogs must be kept on a leash and wear identification tags that indicate their current licencing and vaccinations. The Dog Beach is free to use, but owners must clean up after their pets. There are waste bags and appropriate containers accessible.

Tanner Park does not have an official dog park, although dogs on leashes are permitted on the park's various paths (and you do see pups off-leash as well). The park descends into a gully, with a bridge at the bottom where many people let their dogs off leash to play in the creek. Please be cautious because the current is powerful. This isn't your normal dog park with a fence around it. It's like going for a hike in the woods. There are no restrooms or drinking fountains, so bring your own. A variety of bag and garbage stations are available. Please be advised that if you are not in good shape, the hike back up and out will be difficult.
