In the UK there is an estimated population of 11 million pet dogs, which equates to 29% of the adult population*, so naturally it is becoming more popular for furry friends to come along on days out, short breaks and even holidays.

Give your dog the freedom of running along the coast, dipping in the water and digging in the sand, and with 22 miles of coastline you are spoiled for choice.

Southport also has an abundance of parks & gardens that are pet friendly and a great place for a walk with the dog.

Grab a coffee, cocktail, a beer and some food and some of our pet friendly places to eat & drink, and after a day exploring you can rest your head in several places that offer pet-friendly accommodation in Southport.

To make things easier when planning your trip, we’ve found all the pet-friendly places to visit, eat, drink & stay in Southport.
