Check into a pet-friendly hotel like Home2 Suites by Hilton Pompano Beach Pier or the Residence Inn Oceanfront. Let your dog settle in, then take a leashed walk through the Fishing Village and around the pier district.
Head to Canine Corner Dog Park for off-leash play if you have a pass, or choose North Pompano Park for a simpler dog-run stop. Afterward, cool down and rest at your hotel.
Have dinner on the dog-friendly patio at Galuppi's or grab a casual outdoor table at Lucky Fish near the beach. Finish with a sunset walk along the promenade and surrounding sidewalks.
Day 2: Patio brunch and local exploring
Start with breakfast or brunch at Checkers Old Munchen or another patio-friendly stop, then walk your dog through one of the city’s on-leash parks such as Harbors Edge Park.
Spend time exploring nearby shops and outdoor areas around Atlantic Boulevard. If your dog enjoys social settings, stop at 26° Brewery & Kitchen or Dangerous Minds Brewing Co. for a relaxed patio break.
Wrap up with a waterfront dinner at Houston's if patio seating is available for dogs, or return to your favorite casual patio before heading out the next morning.
