We adore our fur buddies here on the Paradise Coast.
Check out just a few of the many ways we show it!
DOG-FRIENDLY BEACH While other city and county
beaches are off limits, there's plenty of running,
swimming and sniffing room with eight miles of beach
on Keewaydin Island, just a short boat ride from
Naples or Marco Island. Hop aboard the dog-
friendly Hemingway Water Shuttle at Rose Marina
on Marco Island for drop-off and pick-up service.
A friendly, furry "first mate" named Riley often
comes along to help you spot the dolphins.
RETAIL THERAPY Window-shopping with
pampered pooches requires frequent refreshment.
Some shopkeepers happily provide healthy treats.
Most restaurants in shopping districts provide pet
water bowls at their sidewalk tables.
DOGGIE SPA It's true, you can even book your best
furry friend for a spa day at Shear Luxury Pet Styling.
CAFÉ SOCIETY It's so chic for well-behaved pets to
"see and be seen" at outdoor cafes in Naples, Marco
Island and Everglades City.
A PRIVATE GARDEN GATE Dogs on-leash have
their own private entrance on special days at Naples
Botanical Garden, and they get treats, too.
CANINE PARADES Mark your calendar for the Pets on
Third Parade and Woofstock at Mercato in January and
Marco Island's Holiday Pets on Parade in December.
CENTRAL BARK Large and small dogs have separate
off-leash playgrounds in this state-of-the-art
downtown Naples dog park.
PET FRIENDLY HOTELS Your pet is very
welcome with advance booking at The Ritz-
Carlton Golf Resort, Naples, Staybridge Suites,
La Quinta by Wyndham hotels, Red Roof Plus &
Suites, the charming Boat House Motel on Marco
Island and more.
