After much deliberation, the Santa Rosa Island Authority has approved a 6-month trial run to allow dogs on two areas of Pensacola Beach. 

Soon enough, our furry, four legged family members will be allowed to enjoy the Florida sunshine, white sand, and salt water along beautiful Pensacola Beach!

This is a first, as pets have been strictly forbidden along the white sand beaches of Pensacola Beach. By May 1, dogs are allowed in two locations on Pensacola Beach:

• Parking Lot 5B on Fort Pickens Rd. near Park West just past the last condos on the Gulfside of Fort Pickens Rd. past Gulf Winds Condos


• Parking Lot E on Via Deluna Dr. near Park East past portofino marked by a siren pole

Escambia County & The Island Authority are still working out the details but we should have all the rules prior to March 15, 2013 when the 100-yard Gulf Front beaches will be open to dogs.

• A Few Rules:


• Dogs must be kept on leashes


• Park hours are from sunrise to 10 am


• Doggie bags will be kept at the location but its best to bring your own


• When turtle season starts May 1st, the park hours will be 7 am to 10 am

Escambia County also opened two dog beaches along Perdido Key, FL beaches.  Read the article here.
