Travel St. Pete Like a Dog Lover

These are the pup-popular outdoor venues in St. Pete.
Dog/human chaos score (where 5=high traffic): 3... For the pup that is high energy, great with other dogs / people and comes when you call... This is a large unfenced dog beach at TripAdvisors best beach in America. Usually less packed than any other dog park in the area, but it's unfenced and off-leash.

Dog/human chaos score (where 5=high traffic): 2... For the pup that likes all the smells and short walks... There is a busy 1/2 mile loop around the lake; the city sometimes uses the lake as a rehab for injured birds, so a wide diversity of birds and smells for the furry ones. Very little trash, well-maintained.

Most places in St. Pete will let your dog inside. This is just my experience on what venues deem it socially acceptable to bring your dog inside (regardless of the policy). Treat this section as tips, not guarantees.
