we are new to the area and are looking for a dog-friendly beach. are there any in the area? thanks!
Just wanted to say we appreciate dog friendly establishments…those who participate..THANK YOU!
I cannot believe Savannah has only one pathetic dog park. Why? Is anybody trying to change that?
The Sentient Bean (13 E Park Avenue) Across from Forsyth PArk is very dog friendly. Water bowls near both front and back outside tables.
Pinkies allows dogs as well
So is there a dog friendly area on the beach?
I wish to relocate to savannah, from delray beach, florida… i have 2 dogs and 5 cats (yes… you heard me correctly… lol) My dogs are both friendly and well behaved, and all of my animals are indoor-outdoor… fully house trained, non-destructive, lovable and autonomous… but, i need to find a rental that will accomodate them… one with indoor-outdoor/fenced in yard access for the dogs… just to complicate matters… i’d like to live near the downtown area (from “historic downtown”… to the big park Forsyth?… to the dog park… anywhere in between)… and pay relatively cheap rent!… I don’t mind a little apartment with a small yard… that would be fine… anyone have any ideas?… leads?… houses/apartments/basement apartments, etc. for rent?… thank you, for any response and help that you can offer… we look forward to seeing you soon!
There is no dog friendly beach in Savannah, there is on Hilton Head and Brunswick. The YMCA on Tybee Island has a small fenced area out side for dogs, but there are no trees or bushes. Unfortunately, Savannah is not very dog friendly when it comes to “off the leash” locations.
I know the beaches in Hilton Head, SC allow dogs-lots of dogs (on and off leash there).
tybee dog park is located in memorial park,
conveniently located on tybee’s main drag.
the park is a happing place for local folks after work and on the weekend, as well.
it is chatham county’s only municipal off leash facility
and it is there because of dedicated volunteers who raised the money and built it themselves (with the city’s permission).
at 130′ X 80′, it is big enough for a pack of happy dogz & their people to spread out and have fun.
so come on out sometime and see it for yourself.
The Holiday Inn in Hilton Head is Pet friendly. There is a high pet fee then an additional $10 a night. The beach is beautiful and there are a lot of dogs.
There is no dog friendly beach in Savannah, but about an hour and a half south at Jekyll Island you can enjoy miles of dog friendly beaches. There are many dog friendly hotels there as well. If you go I highly recommend going down the dock on the river side of the island. At the end there is a little place called the Raw Bar. Very pet friendly, live music outside on the weekends, and great food. Not to mention the ambiance.
Tybee is looking at opening up all or part of the beach to dogs again. If you support it, make sure you let people know and post messages on Savannah boards. I don’t know who supported banning dogs from the beach in the beginning, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to take your dogs to tybee?

I am relocating to Savannah from Portland Maine with my two lovable, sweet medium dogs. I was there last week looking for apartments and scoping out the dog scene. I was impressed that so many apartments allow dogs and that there are many dogs around town, but I was appalled at how there is no leash free space for dogs to run and play. The Starland Dog Park seems a good effort, but it’s nowhere I can walk with my dog–it’s a small fenced pit with one lonely tree. Is there anywhere in the area where we can hike over rocks, let the dogs run in and out of woods, jump in some water, smell and chase small rodents.
Thanks for the postings about Hilton Head. I went to Tybee and was so disappointed about their pet policy. How can I help and who can I write to help bring dogs back there?
In Portland there are many, many great places to explore outdoors where a responsible dog owner can let her dogs run happily.
I’m looking forward to moving and hopefully finding some good walks within the Savannah area. Any tips appreciated. Thanks!
The people that run the dog park are a bunch of power hungry assholes. If you like how Stalin ran Russia you will love the way these people run their dog park.
Hi everyone!!!
Wanted to let everyone know about our company Travels with Pet, soon to be published on the web. We are a full service travel agency for pet travelers but will also be starting pet friendly walking tours of the city. We are hoping to work with the dog park on this and get with businesses who would welcome our 4-legged tourist. On July 19, 2008 we will be doing a test run on 4 of our 6 tours that will be offered. If anyone would like to join in that day it will be free and we would love to have you.

I just wanted to let everyone know about Tailsspin, its a petshop 1 block North from Forsyth on Whitaker. The owners are great & the prices are totally reasonable. Give your money to a local shop, not Petsmart!
