Destin beaches are not pet-friendly. Miramar Beach does allow residents with permits to walk their leashed dogs on the shore. You may occasionally see pets on the beach, but do note that there are fines for such activities. Instead, take your four-legged family member to the pet parks in Destin.

Yes, many Destin restaurants welcome pets at their outdoor tables. Hammerhead's Bar & Grille, Harry T Restaurant, and Captain Dave's on the Gulf are a few of our favorites. There are over 55 restaurants in Destin that are pet-friendly. Call ahead to confirm.

There are a number of pet parks to choose from along the Gulf Coast. They include the "Destin Dog Park" in the center of Destin,"Dog Beach" near the Russell Pier; Aaron Bessant Park, which adjoins Pier Park; and Zottie Young Park, which is located in Panama City and was the very first Leash Park in Bay County.

There are a number of wonderful pet services in and around Destin, including pet stores, grooming services, pet parks, and even doggy daycare available while you're here at the beach.
