I hate leaving my pets at home when I travel so any chance I get to bring them with me is a win! Luckily for me, there is a beach not too far from Georgia that is pet friendly! Vacationing to a house on the beach where you can bring your entire family (pets included) is a dream! Unfortunately furry friends aren’t permitted on the beaches in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. However, in the Fort Morgan area, there aren’t any city policies restricting it. Whoop whoop! There are several waterfront dog parks that you should check out if your puppy dogs get tired of the sandy beaches or if they’re not allowed on your beach.

Make sure to check out these pet-friendly attractions
