30A’s Dog-Friendly Dining List

From bars to restaurants, almost everyone who visits 30A for vacation would conclude that our area is sincerely accommodating to canine companions. Likewise, locals love to bring their pets for an afternoon out for lunch or drinks.

We’ve compiled the Ultimate List of Dog Friendly Bars, Coffee Shops and Restaurants on 30A, especially since more than half of all vacationers report they bring Fido along on their trip.

While dogs are seen strolling the cobblestone streets of Rosemary Beach and having treats in beachy bistros, don’t forget you must still have a permit to bring your dog on the beach.

The establishments listed all allow dogs in the outdoor patio seating only.
