Hey there, Sunshine State nomads! 👋 Once you’ve explored every corner of St. Petersburg, the rest of Florida calls!
In 2026, we’re challenging you to embrace the open road with an eco-conscious mindset. This isn't just about finding new dog parks; it's about mindful travel that reduces our collective pawprint. 🌍🐾
At Paws in the Green, we’re mapping out a multi-city road trip that combines adventure with sustainability, ensuring every stop is as planet-friendly as the gear you pack. 💚🐕🌴1. South Beach Style: South Pointe Park, Miami Beach 🏖️🐕
Kick off your road trip in the vibrant energy of Miami Beach. South Pointe Park offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and a dedicated off-leash dog park. 🌊🐾 It’s a chic spot to introduce your pup to the fast-paced life of South Florida.
The Vibe: High energy, scenic, and very stylish. 📸
Eco-Tip: Make sure your packing list is sustainable! Our travel-ready, natural fiber leashes and collars are ready for any coastal adventure. Shop the collection at Paws in the Green. 🛍️2. Island Vibes & Brews: Key West First Legal Rum Distillery, Key West 🍹🐩
Drive south on the iconic Overseas Highway to Key West. Key West First Legal Rum Distillery is a must-stop. 🌴🥤 Not only do they make great rum, but they are incredibly dog-friendly on their patio, often having treats and water ready for furry friends. It’s peak "Florida Keys" hospitality.
Social Snap: Capture that island vibe and tag them at @keywestlegalrum! 🤳✨
Pro-Tip: The Keys are sensitive ecosystems. Always carry your Paws in the Green Compostable Waste Bags to keep the fragile marine environment clean. 💩🌿
3. Central Florida Wetlands: Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive, Apopka 🐊🌿
Head north into inland Florida for a unique, drive-through safari experience. The Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive is a one-way, 11-mile route that lets you spot alligators, birds, and other incredible Florida wildlife from the safety of your car. 🚙🦉 It's a low-impact way to see diverse ecosystems.
Stay Prepared: This drive can take hours. Pack a Paws in the Green Travel Bowl and plenty of fresh water for your pup to stay hydrated in the Florida heat. 💧✨
4. Panhandle Peace: Fort Pickens, Pensacola Beach 🏰🌅
Finish your journey in the "Redneck Riviera." Fort Pickens in Pensacola allows leashed dogs in the designated pet area near the fort. 🌊🐕🦺 You can walk the historic grounds and enjoy the stunning, sugar-white sand beaches that define the Panhandle region.
Green Rule: Help us protect our beautiful Florida coastline. Ensure you pack out all trash and use only sustainable gear from Paws in the GreExplore with Intention! 🚀☀️🐾
From the southern tip of Key West to the western sands of Pensacola, every mile of the Florida coast is precious. We can travel responsibly by choosing eco-friendly options every step of the way. 🍯🌿
