Motel 6

I forget to mention in my last blog post that I also found out that Motel 6 is a dog friendly motel nationwide. Whether you are going somewhere for pleasure or business in or outside of Georgia, you can stay at a Motel 6 and bring your dog! The Motel 6 that I stayed at in Hilton Head, SC was exceptionally clean with a friendly staff as well. It was also located less than five miles away from the beach. I was thoroughly impressed.

I went to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina this past weekend and by surprise found out that dogs are allowed on the beach during specific dates and times throughout the year! I have been to a lot of beaches along the East coast, but I believe this is the first beach that I have gone to that permits dogs on the actual beach. Some dates do not even require the dog to be on a leash!

Unfortunately, I did not know this great piece of information until I got there so I did not have my dogs there to enjoy the beautiful beach. Although, many other beach goers did take advantage of the dog friendly beach. I bet there was over twenty dogs of different sizes, shapes, and breeds just in the general area as myself.

If anyone wants to take a long weekend beach trip, but cannot find a dog sitter, Hilton Head is the place to go with your dog! Hilton Head is only about an hour away from Savannah which also makes it a plus for Georgia dog lovers!

Does anyone know of other pet friendly beaches? Has anyone brought their dogs to Hilton Head? If so, what was your experience like? I would love to hear other people's comments and experiences!
