As we said earlier, we believe that Singer Island and West Palm Beach should offer thrilling South Florida adventures for the whole family, and we mean the whole family. That’s why Hilton Singer Island Oceanfront Resort is among the most pet-friendly hotels in the Palm Beaches. Here are the facts straight from the Web site:
Large dogs are allowed, with a maximum weight of 75 lbs, and both beds and food/water bowls may be provided as available. While there is a $75 non-refundable accommodations fee, we’re happy to charge no additional service fees. Just try finding that on Singer Island!
Not to mention, this is much more than a great place to stay. This is a fantastic destination for getting out and having a fun time with your dog. Here are just three of many options throughout Singer Island, the Palm Beaches and South Florida:

MacArthur Beach State Park
10900 Jack Nicklaus Drive
North Palm Beach
Just a few minutes from our Palm Beach hotel, MacArthur Beach State Park is a sprawling 325-acre nature park and beach ideal for picnics and play. While dogs are not allowed on the beach or boardwalks, there are still plenty of easy, scenic nature trails to explore with your four-legged friend. Leash Required.
Lake Trail in Palm Beach
Quadrille Bridge at the Waterway
Palm Beach
This popular bike trail along the Intracoastal Waterway is paved and offers incredible views of the waterway and upscale Palm Beach neighborhoods, along with plenty of room for your animal to walk. Dogs are allowed, but this is no park, so be respectful of bikers and other pedestrians.
Pooch Pines at Okeeheelee Park
7715 Forest Hill Boulevard
West Palm Beach
This nearby option in West Palm Beach is what you’ve really been looking for: an off-leash dog park where your dog can really be his or herself. This well-equipped facility features two large dog sections, a small dog section, paved doggy wash station, shaded sitting areas, fido fountains, and plenty more. Like most dog parks, the rules are strict but have the safety and wellbeing of animals and their owners in mind. Dogs must not be aggressive, must be vaccinated and must be registered.
Of course, there’s plenty more for you dog-lovers to find, but this is a good start for any South Florida family vacation when it’s really the whole family who’s along for the ride.
