Pet Information

Pet-friendly Trails
Garden and Sea Inn Trail

Garden and Sea Inn welcomes all guests to bring their pets with them.

The Inn sits on 5 acres of wonderfully landscaped gardens and natural fields where pets have room to roam. We ask that pets be kept on a leash at all times - out of respect for our other guests.

There are many peaceful areas where you can sit and read or just enjoy the gardens with your best friend.

We also have a walking path which circles our forest. It is fairly rustic, but the path is mowed.

Please be advised that pets are not permitted at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge or Assateague Island (Virginia Side) - Not even in the car.

Garden and Sea Inn is located near three pet-friendly beaches:

Guard Shore Beach is just 20 minutes away on the Chesapeake Bay. This beach has quiet surf and is virtually unknown except by locals. Bug spray is recommended during summer months.

The Maryland side of Assateague Island National Seashore (near Ocean City) is about 45 minutes away on the Atlantic Ocean. Here you can enjoy playing in the surf with your dog and watching the wild ponies all on the same day. For more information, see Assateague Island National Park Service.

Public Landing, Maryland is 6.5 miles east of Snow Hill. It has a fishing pier, swimming areas, boat ramps with public access to the Chincoteague Bay. It is posted to never swim within 48 hours of a rainfall.
