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! Also, there are special sunscreens for doge. 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.

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, pets 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 the May - Labor Day window. Dogs still must be leashed and droppings properly removed.

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 that as easy as possible by providing free bags for the purpose. 

Free Dog Parks

Plan to take your dog to one of the local Dog Parks! They are all FREE except Surfside Beach (see information below.)

NEW Opened 3/1/ 2014! Waggin' Tail Dog Park at the North 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.

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 Beach 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.  Hard to believe it is serious news.  "No more barking at Surfside Beach dog park"

The Market Common is pet-friendly. Take your dog so you can both enjoy this lovely area of  Myrtle Beach!

Boardwalk Rules for Dogs
From the day after Labor Day until May 1, dogs are allowed on the Boardwalk at all times, but they must be on a leash and you must pick up after them. From May 1 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 foot washes. (Separate human showers and foot washes are provided at other locations along the Boardwalk and elsewhere.)
Thanks to the City of Myrtle Beach for this information

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 knowledge, all information below is correct. But rates and policies can change. Please view the websites of call for updated information. I do not personally recommend (or not recommend) any of the locations below. Do your homework and research reviews before booking.
If you contact any listing and are told they no longer accept dogs, please send me an e-mail.
