Nearby walks
The inn is lucky to have dog-friendly conservation trails across the street, and a beautiful beach within walking distance. Treat Fido to an adventure after breakfast, after all, he had to sit their drooling while you ate! Later in the day you can follow one of our self-guided tours to find the Cape's best dog-friendly trails, bike paths, beaches and ponds.

Dog-friendly beaches
There are a handful of beaches that are dog-friendly, and not too far from the Inn. Chapin's beach is where dog summits sometimes take place..a fun place where dog's go to gossip about their owners. There are several other dog-friendly beaches around for when Fido craves a mouth full of salty surf. 5 miles from the Inn are the dog-friendly hiking trails at Sandy Neck Beach.

Doggie dining
Unfortunately dining with your pooch is not the most convenient, as the stars have to line up and find you a restaurant that 1) has outdoor dining, and 2) doesn't mind having a pooch around. And of course the weather has to be cooperating.

The Barnstable Tavern in our local village is just such a place, and if you're dog loves live jazz he or she will certainly enjoy their Sunday brunch. Just a few minutes from the Inn is Main Street, Hyannis, which has fun outdoor dining (a bark-tacular place to grab a sandwich and people/dog watch!). In season the pet-friendly Sesuit Harbor Cafe has the BEST lobster rolls, or better yet, you and Fido can kick back here at the inn for a poolside BBQ!

Whale watching
Although our nearby whale watch boat does not accept pets, our guests with pets often like to take the ride up to Provincetown and hop on the dog-friendly whale watcher the "Dolphin Fleet". Take one of our driving tours for the ride up to catch some fun pet-friendly destinations along the way--always a good time! On the way back from whale watching expect lots of questions from your dog as to what the heck they just witnessed.

Nantucket &

Martha's Vineyard
If watching re-runs of Gilligan's Island all day while you're at work has piqued Fido's curiosity, both the Hy-Line and Steamship Authority ferries accept pets at no cost. Just like being on Cape Cod or anywhere else, once on the island with a pet your options for dining & site seeing become limited, but you can still have a great time!

Must love dogs
If you'd like to show your dog you really care, there are "doggy spas" that can spruce up their coat--and their spirits! If you'd like to set up an appointment please inquire with an innkeeper prior to arrival. All dressed up and no place to romp? One of the country's leading pet portrait photographers happens to work out of Dog Day Studio and Gallery on Cape Cod! Dennis Colligan works by appointment and can photograph your pet here at the inn, or on their favorite beach!
