Why Not Bring Your Dog on Vacation!

Did you know that over 39% of people say they have skipped a vacation to stay home with their fur babies? Don’t miss out — bring your pup with you on vacation!

Sand `N Sea offers over 80 different Galveston pet-friendly vacation rentals that allow you to invite your dog(s) along for the adventure. Our VIP (Very Important Pup) guests are even greeted with a special gift at check-in.

Galveston Island is home to several fenced dog parks that will allow your puppy to roam freely. You can find these pet-friendly play areas at Lindale, Menard, and Kempner Parks. The island also has many air-conditioned, indoor areas that welcome pets. Additionally, BayWatch Dolphin Tours invites pets to come along for the ride.

Are Dogs Allowed in Galveston?

Galveston Island is the perfect place to take Fido on a family-friendly vacation. All of the Island’s beaches are open to leashed dogs. Business owners and other visitors love seeing your four-legged friends, too. Many businesses in the most popular areas gladly welcome your pets, and some even serve them meals and treats!

Is It Safe for Dogs to Go to the Beach?

Dogs are welcome to frolic on all beaches in Galveston, TX. Looking for a full beach day of fun? Set up your home base on the sand with plenty of water, snacks, and shade. If you stay at a beachfront rental home, you can take breaks on the shaded patio when the sun gets to be too much for you both!

Our Favorite Dog-Friendly Spots

West End beaches have miles of sand that are perfect for morning walks with sunrise over the Gulf or slow evening strolls with your favorite pup.

East Beach, located on the Island’s far eastern tip, is a lively place to bring your pooch along for some beach fun. In 2016, Town & Country voted East Beach “One of the Best Dog-Friendly Beaches.” It has everything you’ll need to keep your pet hydrated and safe from the sun’s rays: showers, restrooms, food, drinks, and chair and umbrella rentals.

Another great option is Stewart Beach, which Family Vacation Critic voted one of the “10 Best Beaches for Families” in 2013. It gives you access to concessions, fresh water, shade, and fun play areas for the family.

Before visiting the beaches, take note of the local leash laws. To ensure you and your pets have safe fun, local ordinances require your pets to stay on a leash (six feet or less in length) while roaming the beaches. These rules keep your pup safe from dangerous surf conditions and allow other visitors to enjoy the beaches too.

Sand `N Sea Pet Policy

Our pet policy allows up to two small dogs (each under 20 lbs.) or one medium-sized dog (40-60 lbs.) at our pet-friendly homes. A $125 non-refundable pet fee is included on each pet-friendly reservation. That sure beats paying boarding fees to the kennel while your pal misses out on the family fun!

Your pups are with you every day and are a part of some of your family’s most precious moments. Vacation should be no different! Book your next getaway with Sand `N Sea and bring the whole family along.
