Orange Beach Dog Park allows dogs to be off-leash during their playtime and has separate fenced areas for dogs of various sizes. They also have water stations, training stations, and benches and shade for human companions. Gulf Shores Dog Park is also fenced and has a bench, trees, and drinking water. The Dog Pond at Lake Shelby is another local dog park where dogs can play, provided that they remain on a leash.
Gulf State Park is a large park where you and your dog can hike together on dog-friendly trails. Just remember to keep your dog leashed at all times. Orange Beach Waterfront Park, located on Wolf Bay, allows dogs provided they are on a leash. Here, you can check out the fishing pier, picnic areas, and paved walking paths. Finally, the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail contains fifteen miles of seven trails that wind through Gulf State Park, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach.
There are a number of delectable restaurants, coffee shops, and more for humans that dogs will also love! In Gulf Shores, Billy’s By the Beach, The Beach House Kitchen and Cocktails, Flying Harpoon, and Hog Wild BBQ are all worth checking out. Orange Beach has The Southern Grind Coffee House, Bruster’s Real Ice Cream, Villagio Grille, Flippers Seafood and Oyster Bar, and Cosmos Restaurant and Bar are all wonderful.
