Visiting Davis Island with your four-legged friend? There aren’t a ton of options for hitting the sand and surf, but we have found an amazing place that you and your pup will love exploring.
Head to Davis Island Dog Park (1002 Severn Ave, Tampa, FL 33606) which has two separate fenced areas. One part is a beach, and one part is a typical dog park.
Mornings can get pretty busy at this park, but it’s a wonderful place to take your pet and let them frolic in the waves, play ball, or simply socialize with other dogs. There are usually plenty of dogs of all breeds to play with, and the owners tend to be responsible and considerate. You’ll also enjoy the beach yourself since there’s plenty of seating where you can relax (though not nearly enough shade, so don’t overdo it.) There’s a convenient dog washing area for when it’s time to head home—that’s right, you won’t have to deal with a sandy pup getting your car all messed up.
Want to make sure your dog is getting enough exercise while you’re in Davis Island? Not to worry—hire a local dog walker who would love to show them around town like a local.
