Fort Macon State Park

The restored fort is available for tours and frequently holds cannon fire displays. A 3.2-mile nature trail connects the fort to the swimming beach. If this isn’t enough to keep you and Fido busy, give surf fishing or kayaking a try! Please remember that pups are not allowed in the water at the swimming area. The park is a very popular attraction, so visitors are advised to arrive early because parking fills up quickly!

Atlantic Beach
During the summer, tourists flock to Atlantic Beach by the thousands. Visitors come from all over to experience the breathtaking shoreline and unrivaled views of the Bogue Sound. Leashed pets are welcome at Atlantic Beach, but owners are asked clean up after them and fill in any holes their pet may have dug. If you have time, sniff out The Hoop Pole Creek Trail, a nature trail that zigzags through 31 acres of scenic maritime forests and marshes. The markings on the trees along the path indicate that it’s home to an endangered Red-Cockaded Woodpecker nest. Feeling hungry? Check out The Crab Claw! This is a dog-friendly oceanfront restaurant that serves up Caribbean-style seafood dishes daily. If you don’t care for seafood, there are several other delicious dog-friendly eateries in the area.

Indian Beach
Centered between Emerald Isle and Atlantic Beach lies the beautiful dog-friendly shoreline of Indian Beach and Salter Path. The 1.5-mile area township is very small, especially considering over 60% is made up of water! Due to its central location, this spot is ideal for surfing, kayaking, and fishing. There are several places to rent boats and boards within close proximity of the beach. The Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier lies between Emerald Isle and Salter Path, and is a popular place to catch mackerel, flounder, and trout. Dogs are welcome on the beach and in the water, but they must stay on a leash. Visitors are advised to bring bug repellant -- the nearby marshes often lure mosquitoes!
