Tips for dog parents....
With temperatures in the 80s and 90s here in the summer, your best friend can easily become dehydrated. Keep a bottle of cool water handy! This is especially true when you take your dog to one of the local dog parks. Although the dog parks are shaded in places, it is important that you and your dog can rest in the shade after romping around the dog park. Also, there are special sunscreen made for your dog.
for dogs. Put ice cubes in your dog's water dish and encourage him/her to stretch out on the cool tiles. Take your dog to any of the dog friendly restaurants listed above.
Dog Beach Policies, Laws, Rules, Restrictions, Information
Just a reminder....seasonal rules are in effect for dogs and bicycles on the beach and boardwalk. From May 1 through Labor Day, dogs are allowed on the beach only before 10:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. At all times, your dog must be on a leash of seven feet or shorter, and owners must pick up and properly dispose of any droppings. Bicycles also must observe the “before 10:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m.” rule for the beach. However, on the Boardwalk, pets and bicycles are allowed only in the mornings, from 5:00 to 10:00 a.m.during May - Labor Day window. Dogs ust be leashed and droppings properly removed.
The city of Myrtle Beach has done away with the law allowing pet owners to have a license lfor dogs and cats. The animal license fee was regarded as unnecessary. Pets must still show proof of rabies vaccination and are required to wear a collar with proper identification.
Owners are responsible for removing pet waster from beaches and other public property. Horry County laws:
Dogs in public must be on a leash. Dogs are allowed on the beach only before 10 a.m.and after 5 pm every day through Labor Day.
MYR Myrtle Beach Airport and pets: Contact your airline for information on travel with your pet. Myrtle Beach International Airport has two pet relief areas. #1 is located outside of door #6 in the Baggage Claim Area. #2 is located inside the airport terminal, on the departure level adjacent the entrance to Concourse B. Owners are asked to please clean up after their animals, using the waste disposal bags and receptacles provided.
Dog Waste Bags: The city of Myrtle Beach buys approximately 60,000 dog waste bags every year and stocks them in our free dispensers at city parks. The doggie waste bags are available free at the two off-leash Barc Parcs, as well as at Grand Park and other outdoor locations. Pet owners are required to pick up after their pets and properly dispose of the droppings! We make thst aseasy as possible by providing free bags for that purpose.
Boardwalk Beach Ploicies and Rules for Dogs
From the day after Labor Day until May 1, dogs are allowed on the Boardwak at all times, but they must be on a leash and you must pick up after them. From May through Labor Day dogs are allowed on the boardwalk only between 5:00 and 10:00 a.m. (Note that the doggie water fountains are not for your feet. (Separate human foot washers are provided at other locations along the Boardwalk and elsewhere.)
Thanks to the City of Myrtle Beach for this information.
Free Dog Parks
Plan to take your dog to the local dog parks. They are all FREE except Surfside Beach (see information below.)
Waggin' Tail Dog Park at the North Myrtle Beach Sports Complex
Barc Park is on Mallard Lake Drive This dog park is located near The Market Common directly behind the Food Lion and flea market. This 11 acre dog park opened in 2000. The fenced-in grounds are separated into a smaller dog area with structures such as hoops, and a larger dog area featuring a lake for doggie aquatics. Shaded areas with picnic tables and benches are welcoming for pet owners. Hours are sunrie to sunset, daily (maintenance is performed a few days each quarter, and dates are posted at the park). Free. For additional info, call 843-918-2390. Update 12/10/16 The park is now open after Hurricane Matthew toppled 30 trees and demolished 300 feet of fence on October 8. The 14 acre park is divided into two sections, one of which includes a large lake. Barc Parc North, a 2nd off-leash area for dogs is adjacent to the Claire Chapin Epps Family, off 62nd Avenue North Extension. For photos of Dog Park South, visit www.cityofmyrtlebeach.com/pow.html
Dog Park in Surfside Beach
Note: The dog park in Surfside Beach is not free, like the other two shown here. The Town of Surfside Beach has expanded and fenced in an existing park behing the library on Surfside Drive. Take you dog to the dog park and see it for yourself. ALL dogs must have and wear current Town of Surfside license tags. . Residents and non-residents $10. Tags can be purchased at the Town Hall, 115 US Highway 17 N. 843-913-6111. All other information about the dog park is HERE
This should be on the Onion website... "No more barking at Surfside Beach dog park"
The Market Common is pet-friendly. Take your dog so you and both fall in love with this up-scale shopping area of Myrtle Beach!
When you book a dog friendly hotel, motel or condo, don't forget to ask about additional charges such as weight restrictions and deposits. To the best of my knowldge, all information on this web page is correct.. But rates and policies can change. Please view the website and call them for updat3ed information. I do not personally recommend (or not recommend) any of the locations below. Do your hoomework and research reviews before booking.

Thank you for making our vacation special. Boone, N.C.
Received 8/2/2017 I want to thank you for your dog friendly information on where to stay and where to eat with my pooch. It was very helpful. We especially enjoyed the Market Common shops offer cool water bowls and we ate at Gordon Bierch where the pup got a lot of tail-waving attention from peoploe passing by.
