Nothing beats an afternoon running and romping in the sand, and Miami has plenty of dog-friendly beaches to choose from. Head to Haulover Beach Dog Park, a puppy playground that’s popular with visitors and locals alike. Here, clothing is optional, and the shores are dog-friendly. A special section of the beach is designated just for pups to play in the surf. Four-legged fun is waiting at Hobie Island Beach Park, affectionately known as “Windsurfer Beach.” Watch daredevils ride the wind and waves while Fido checks out the amazing beachfront. The shallow water is ideal for cooling off those paws in the waves.

Further north, you’ll find the enviable North Beach Oceanside Park. With a stunning view of the downtown Miami skyline, this popular park offers a serene beach experience where the days are long, and the vibe is chill. While dogs have to be leashed while on the beach itself, there are two dog-friendly runs, one for smaller pups and another for larger breeds, for running off some energy.

Make new puppy friends at Coconut Grove Dog Park, a sprawling dog park featuring green grass, agility equipment and shady trees. Located in David T. Kennedy Park, this doggy paradise also offers stunning views of the bay. Miami Springs Dog Park has something for everyone, including fun toys and equipment, water fountains, and shady pavilions to rest in between play sessions. For a canine escape in the heart of the city, be sure to stop by Margaret Pace Dog Park. Surrounded by towering Miami skyscrapers, this urban retreat has separate areas for bigger and smaller dogs, tons of green grass to explore, and water fountains for thirsty pups to hydrate.

No trip to Miami is complete without some serious shopping. Lincoln Road Mall is a dog-friendly shopping attraction where you can enjoy outdoor restaurants, shop at local boutiques, and pick up that perfect souvenir to bring back home. The pedestrian mall is lined with cafes, shops, and galleries and most welcome both humans and their furry companions. Bayside Marketplace is another must-see destination where you can take in the sights and sounds, including a massive Ferris Wheel. Leash up and check out the more than 60 stores, shops and boutiques throughout the outdoor shopping complex. There’s even a grassy area for pups to enjoy and relax.

After a few hours of re-tail therapy, you’re sure to work up an appetite, and the Miami culinary scene won’t disappoint. Chow down on some of the fresh and delicious fare the city is famous for. Pick any of the dog-friendly restaurants offering classics like Cuban sandwiches, fish and chips, or shrimp ceviche for a meal that will get your tail wagging.
