Are you planning on vacationing with your dog this year? Exploring the Crystal Coast with your four-legged friend can be an unforgettable experience.  Our beaches welcome your dogs year-round, so whether you’re hitting the waves with your champion swimmer or coasting the sound with your paddleboard-loving puppy – make sure you’re well-equipped for their vacation!

Tips for Vacationing with Your Dog on The Crystal Coast

  • You might like sun tanning, but your dog doesn’t.  Ensure you provide your dog with shelter from the sun to cool off in the shade.
  • Freshwater is essential! Be sure you take enough water for your lucky dog on those hot summer days. Bring along a collapsible water bowl to save space in your beach bag!
  • Over 25 miles of soft sandy beaches are waiting to be sniffed, dug, and explored! Just make sure your dogs are on a leash and that you pick up after them.  If they poop — you scoop.
  • Water toys are a must!  Pack a few floating toys, making finding them in the waves easier. Stop by our Emerald Isle office and pick up a tennis ball for your pup.
  • Some dogs are not natural swimmers.  If your dog isn’t a strong swimmer, a doggie life jacket is the best way for those stumpy pups to enjoy the waves and sound!
  • Do you love capturing your Crystal Coast vacation?  Try taking it all in from a different point of view!  Strap your GoPro to your pup and enjoy the sand, sun, and surf from your dog’s point of view.  Share your videos with us on Facebook!
