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 your dog rest in the shade after romping around the dog park. Also, there are special sunscreens 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

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. Update 12/10/16 The park is now fully open again, 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 second off-leash area for dogs, is adjacent to the Claire Chapin Epps Family, off 62nd Avenue North Extension.  For photos of Barc Parc 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.  It's hard to believe this 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!

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.
