Trip
Dog Friendly Rehoboth Beach Restaurants
 Rehoboth Beach
is a city in Sussex County, Delaware, United States. It is part of the
Seaford, Delaware Micropolitan Statistical Area. A popular regional vacation
destination, Rehoboth Beach's seasonal population expands to over 25,000
within the city limits and thousands more in the surrounding area in the
summer.
The
town often bills itself as "The Nation's Summer Capital" due to
the fact that it is a frequent summer vacation destination for
Washington, D.C., residents as well as visitors from Maryland, Virginia,
and Pennsylvania. Vacationers are drawn for many reasons, including the
town's charm, artistic appeal, and nightlife.
Still
famous for its beaches, wooden boardwalk, eclectic shops, amusements, and
sporting activities, today's Rehoboth Beach is also known as one of the
mid-Atlantic coast's popular gay and lesbian getaways because of the
large number of gay-owned and operated businesses and because of the
gay-frequented stretch of beach near Queen Street, known as Poodle Beach
Dog Friendly Rehoboth Beach Restaurants

Dog
friendly restaurants in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for those who can't bear
to be separated.
Many
Rehoboth Beach restaurants are sensitive to the needs of their patrons
that own and travel with family dogs. Local establishments are seeing a
need for support of this furry family member, and are creating
opportunities for families to dine together away from home, or during
travel time.
Resources
are always increasing and restaurants are demonstrating compassion and
interest man's best friend - or maybe woman's best friend - to join their
families and friends. When thinking of where to eat in Rehoboth with
furry friends, consider Hobos Restaurant and Bar, 56 Baltimore Avenue,
302-226-2226.
Hobos
is open year round, and at the time of this writing, they will happily
welcome your pets. It's best to call in advance, however, to double-check
their guidelines. Sometimes things change, and we wouldn't want you and
Fido to be turned away once you arrive.
Even
though Hobos is the top dog-friendly list at the Rehoboth.com website,
it's not the only doggie friendly spot. There are other restaurants
providing dining accommodations for canines, including:

Just
dining with your furry friends is not enough to keep their health at its
best. Remember to get them the exercise they need - and love. Keep in
mind that dogs may not run free at any time. Leash laws are effectively
enforced, and clean-up regulations also apply to pets on the beaches and
boardwalks at all times. Dogs are allowed on the beaches at certain times
during the year, and it's best to check the current local government
regulations for scheduled dates before walking or running your pets after
lunch or dinner at home or a Rehoboth Beach restaurant.
According
to Dog Friendly an organization and website monitoring dog-friendly
activities, eating establishments and sleeping accommodations for owners,
"It is illegal for dogs to run at large at any time. The City has
both a leash law and a pooper-scooper law which are enforced. Dogs are
prohibited from the beach and boardwalk at all times from April 1 through
October 31, but are allowed on the beach in Dewey Beach (just south of
the RB Boardwalk) before 9:30am and after 5:30pm. They must still be on a
leash and have a Dewey Beach Dog License. Dogs are allowed in the state
parks."
If you
need a place to stay with Fido by your side, there are also dog-friendly
nighttime accommodations. Check out these local places before you arrive
to ensure your needs will be met and that guidelines haven't changed for
canine critters:
Atlantic
Oceanside Hotel, 1700 Coastal, Dewey Beach
American
Hotel, 329 Z Airport Road, Rehoboth
The
Homestead at Rehoboth, 35060 Warrington Road, Rehoboth Beach
Whatever
plans you make after your meal and visit, remember to plan in advance for
your furry friends. Unfortunately, not all folks are as happy with wags
and kisses as you and your family.
