When planning a family vacation, you want everyone you love to be able to spend quality time together. However, sometimes an important family member is missing: your dog. Make sure your four-legged friend is able to join the fun on your next getaway by planning a pet-friendly getaway to Port Aransas. The team at Port A Beach House Company is here to help guide you in planning a vacation that’s both human and pup-approved.

Research Dog-Friendly Things to Do

Port Aransas has countless activities and attractions, but not all are dog-friendly. Before you arrive, research what you want to do or see to ensure it allows furry visitors. To help give you a head start, we’ve made a list of some of our favorites.

1. Let your dog run off some energy at the Port Aransas dog park, located at the Community Park. The park has two sections for big and small breeds, a doggie water fountain, and fire hydrants.
2. Take your dog shopping. Island Pet Company is the only pet store and boutique on the island. The shelves here are lined with pet supplies, seasonal gifts, toys, and treats.
3. You and your pup will both love a day at the beach. There’s plenty of shoreline on Port A where you and your dog can go for a walk or run. You do need to keep your dog on a leash at all times.
4. Dine out at some of the dog-friendly restaurants in Port Aransas. Places like Lelo’s Island Bar, The Gaff, and Castaway’s Seafood & Grill are all dog-friendly. We recommend calling before you arrive to see if the dog-friendly dining area is indoors or outside.

Reserve a Dog-Friendly Port Aransas Vacation Rental

One of the most important things when planning a pet-friendly vacation to Port Aransas is ensuring you have a dog-friendly rental. Port A Beach House Company has several Port A rentals that allow pets. Some of these rentals have extra amenities like private pools and more.
