Pet-Friendly Things to Do in Annapolis

We Love Pets! 

If your idea of a fun vacation is spending quality time with your dog, Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay is the place for you. Grab your buddy and hop aboard a dog friendly water taxi or take a cruise aboard the Harbor Queen. Have kayaking on your mind? Take your dog kayaking with you. Want to check out a few shops? Take your dog shopping with you. Our electric-powered eCruisers will be happy to get you there. As you make your way around town, you'll notice water bowls aplenty along the streets.

Many of our stores and galleries - including Paws Pet Boutique, Zachary's Jewelers, McBride Gallery, and the Annapolis Pottery - welcome dogs.

In the Annapolis Countryside, attractions including Historic London Town and Gardens invite leashed pets to explore their eight-acre woodland garden. If your dog wants to swim, try our dog beach at Downs Park. If your pal wants to play, our dog parks at Quiet Waters and Broadneck Parks give your buddy hours of hanging out time with newly-made friends.

On the social scene, Annapolis and the Chesapeake offers a host of events designed specifically with your dog in mind. Paws Pet Boutique's Canines the Courtyard on Feel Good Fridays, the Crabtowne Canines' march in the Fourth of July Parade, and Ben's Waterfront Beach Bash head the list. Check out our calendar of events for pet-friendly activities throughout the year.
