Dining Out with Your Dog
On the Beach
Beachside bars and casual grills along Estero Boulevard are some of the easiest places to bring a dog, with outdoor seating close to the sand. A few breakfast and coffee spots on the island are pet friendly too, so your dog can join the morning coffee run.
On the Bay and Off the Island
On the back bay, dockside restaurants along Fisherman’s Wharf have open-air decks where leashed dogs are often welcome. Just over the bridge, San Carlos Boulevard and Summerlin Road add a few more pet-friendly stops.
Special Diets
Several pet-friendly members are also listed for gluten-free dining. See Gluten-Free Dining for more options.
Dogs on the Beach
Dogs are welcome on Fort Myers Beach on a leash. For off-leash play, Lee County’s Dog Beach Park is south of the island on the Bonita Beach Causeway. Bring water and pick up after your pet.
Good to Know
Pets are usually welcome on outdoor patios rather than indoors. Call ahead to confirm the pet policy, and bring a water bowl on hot days.
