Dog Friendly Annapolis

Celebrate the Dog Days of Summer With Your Dog in Historic Annapolis

By Darla Winstead - Publisher of Macaroni Kid Annapolis August 22, 2023

Your four legged friends will enjoy a visit to Annapolis and the surrounding communities. Dog parks and beaches allow you and your pooch to enjoy the out-of-doors together. Some shops in Historic Annapolis are pet-friendly. Many restaurants around town have outside seating areas that are dog friendly and some have outdoor table service.

Take a stroll around Historic Annapolis, especially on Main Street and Inner West Street and you will see...

'Dog Welcome' signs,

water bowls,

and even free treats.

On a recent visit to Historic Annapolis this summer, I saw many dogs walking with their owners. Some dogs relaxed while their humans were having lunch. One lucky dog went shopping inside a store, while most stayed outside. So, the next time you go to Annapolis, take your fur baby! They will have as much fun as you will.
