🐾 Best Dog-Friendly Beaches in the Keys—For You and Your Pup!

Hey Reader,

It’s Throwback Tuesday, and today we’re unleashing some seriously good news for anyone traveling with their four‑legged best friend: the best dog-friendly beaches in the Florida Keys. After all, vacations are better when your pup doesn’t have to sit this one out!

👉 Check out the full guide here and start planning those sandy adventures.

Top Dog-Approved Beaches in the Keys

• Higgs Beach Dog Park (Key West) – A fenced-in, off‑leash haven right by the ocean. It’s fully shaded, has separate areas for big and small dogs, and is perfect for splashing and socializing.
• Key West Dog Beach – A small but enthusiastic rocky beach where pups can wade and play. Pro-tip: bring water, poop bags, and maybe a swimsuit for yourself, because you’ll probably cough join in.
• Anne’s Beach (Islamorada) – A leash-friendly slice of paradise with shallow, calm waters, boardwalks, shaded pavilions, and even poop bag dispensers. Doggo-approved and adventure-ready!
• Coco Plum Beach (Marathon) – Picture soft sand, shallow water, and fewer crowds—plus a ton of room for your pup to frolic (on-leash, of course).
• Sombrero Beach (Marathon) – A gorgeous white-sand beach where leashed dogs are welcome. Think scenic views and good swimming vibes for both you and your furry pal.

Share the Love… and the Spots!

Have a dog‑friendly gem we didn’t mention? Hit reply and tell me about it—I’m always on the hunt for new places where pups can make a splash.

Next time you're planning a getaway, don’t forget: great beaches come with paws and wagging tails included.

Until next Tuesday, stay sandy…and always keep it Key West‑y (and pup‑friendly)!
