How to Bring Your Dog on Vacation : Visit Dog Friendly Dauphin Island Beaches

Dogs and Dauphin Island have been longtime companions, and now that the threat of oil from off shore has dissipated, the upper Gulf coast’s most dog friendly beaches are again open to man’s best friend.

The powdery, white sand shore at Dauphin Island, Alabama has long been known for being the most welcoming on the Gulf coast. “We love animals here on Dauphin Island,” said Mike Henderson, executive director of the Dauphin Island Parks and Beach Board.

Dog friendly public beaches have been a major draw of Dauphin Island for many years, and as neighboring destinations have restricted the canine companions, the number of dog loving visitors has steadily increased. “To be perfectly honest, we may be the only dog friendly beach left along this part of the Gulf coast,” Henderson said. “I don’t believe that you can bring your dog [...]

Go Back in Time at The Historic General Lewis Inn

The Historic General Lewis Inn, opened in 1929 as an antique furnished hotel with a white linen dining room open to the public, continues the traditions of service, attitude, and quality begun by the Hock family. It remains in the same family and though providing air conditioning, WiFi, and flat screen TVs today, we celebrate the traditional values associated with our beginning.

Located three blocks from downtown Lewisburg in a residential neighborhood, all the pleasantries of an historic district with an artistic slant, including a performing Carnegie Hall, Greenbrier Valley Professional Theater, galleries, shops, even an authentic Irish Pub, are an easy walk should our guests chose to leave the Gardens or the rocking chairs on the porch. We’re an easy escape to a human focused world.

Don’t we all want to do this? The best part about taking a vacation is meeting the locals. A family vacation is the perfect opportunity to teach children how to make friends. If your kids are shy, help them to be more extroverted. They may resist at first. But it’s up to moms and dads to be the catalyst for their children, if they want them to have a vacation they’ll remember.
