Pet-friendly activities in St. Augustine (FL)

At the Fountain of Youth Archeological Park, you can learn all about the history of St. Augustine. This is where the city was founded in 1565. Therefore, there is plenty to see and do around here. Afterwards, visit the Blacksmith Exhibition, wander through the Timucuan Village, and climb the Spanish Watchtower. The best part of it all? You can do it all with your four-legged friend.

In case you still need to crank up your daily dose of history, take your pet to the Spanish Military Hospital, where it is welcome to join the guided tour while you learn about 18th-century Spanish medicine. If you rather stay outside, then the Ghostly Encounter tour is a good option. It takes you along historic cemeteries and haunted buildings. For foodies, the Bone Appetit food tour is a must. This tour caters specifically to pet owners by including some pet-friendly foodie stops and paying attention to the role animals played in the colonization of St. Augustine.

You can even take your pet on the water in St. Augustine. Rent a kayak or go on a dolphin spotting tour with St. Augustine Eco-Tours. Just make sure to call ahead to let them know that you are bringing your pet. While you cannot take your pet to the Anastasia State Park Beach, it is welcome on the park’s trails and campground if you keep it on a leash of no more than six feet. Lastly, should you just want to let your dog play for a while, there is a dog park to be found both at Treaty Park and Ron Parker Park.
