Let's go to the Beach - with our Furry Friends!

Charleston is not only a great place to live, but it's also a great place to own a dog!

Our charming city welcomes its arms to these furry companions and offers many spots where you can enjoy time with your pet.

As summer approaches, one of the top destinations is our fabulous beaches. See below for a round-up of the best spots to take your dog(s) and the local rules and regulations.
