Things to Do With Your Pet Your four-legged family members are always welcome in Virginia Beach, and we want them to enjoy a paw-sitively perfect vacation with you! Before you travel, be sure to familiarize yourself with seasonal restrictions and, as always, be mindful of keeping your fur-baby on a leash and cleaning up after them. GO FOR A WALK ON THE BEACH OR BOARDWALK Outside the summer season, dogs are welcome any time on the Boardwalk and can get a little sandy off-leash on any of our beaches. In summer, they can romp around these places at designated times. HEAD TO A BREWERY When you’re in need of a pint or two, our breweries are a great place to take the dogs and kick back for a day. SPEND A DAY AT THE PARK From state parks to dog parks, there are plenty of spots to let Fido run off some of that puppy energy. 44 Things To Do FETCH A BITE TO EAT You can also grab a bite at various pet-friendly patios and doggie decks around the city.
