The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Gulfport

South Gulfport

Gulfport’s south side is a neighborhood you don’t want to miss if you’re visiting the area with your dog. Experience the beautiful Floridian climate as you walk through the town streets past small ponds and wetlands. Take a stroll along the Boca Ciega Bay — on the east side of the bay, you’ll find Clam Bayou Nature Park, which has some fantastic trails which provide a great opportunity to explore nature with your dog! There are also some restaurants nearby that have dog-friendly outdoor seating. Try Neptune Grill for delicious burgers and fries, or Salty’s for some pub fare and a creative cocktail.

Central Gulfport

The center of Gulfport is best explored on foot with a furry friend. The scenery is breathtaking, the weather is beautiful, and there are many small community parks and inviting restaurants throughout town. You’ll find Hoyt Park and Clymer Park just a block away from each other — they both make for a great walk with your dog along the trails. For some delicious food that is guaranteed to fill you up, stop by the nearby restaurant Smokin’ J’s BBQ. They offer outdoor seating at their picnic tables so you can bring your dog along and chow down on some of the best barbecue in Florida!

Pasadena

Pasadena is a charming neighborhood that lies a few miles to the northwest of Gulfport. It is a very dog-friendly place: you will find parks and restaurants that can accommodate your canine companion. Circle Park in the center of the neighborhood is a nice setting for a relaxing walk, and the trees along the path provide cool shade. The restaurants with outdoor seating along nearby Central Avenue are a great place to continue your adventure. Central Pizza and Subs is good for a quick and casual meal. Craft Kafé is another pawssibility if you want something a bit lighter, like coffee and a snack.

The weather is nice, the food is great, and there are two dog-centered activities that you won’t want to miss! The first is The Dog Bar on Central Avenue.
