Looking for East Coast dog friendly vacation spots and destinations and want to optimize your chances of having ideal weather? We’ve highlighted twelve pet friendly destinations where the average monthly temperatures are perfect for all kinds of outdoor activities!

 

Pet friendly vacations often involve spending much of your time outdoors. Whether you’re hiking a trail, playing on the beach, perusing the boutiques and galleries of a quaint town, or exploring a new city, your experience is more enjoyable when the weather cooperates.

The problem is that we all know you can’t control Mother Nature! But you can choose East Coast destinations where the weather is more likely to be ideal during your visit.

What Is Ideal Weather?

Everyone has their own idea of what “ideal weather” means. Some like it hot and sunny. Others prefer cool breezes and moody skies. But we can all agree that, when it comes to our pets, high temperatures and humidity can be dangerous.

We’d hate for you to spend your vacation feeling trapped in your hotel because the weather could be harmful for your pet. So we’ve chosen destinations where the high temperatures average between 65 and 75 degrees (Fahrenheit; 18-23 degrees Celsius) during the suggested month to visit.

Let’s get started with our picks for pet and dog friendly vacations in East Coast destinations with ideal weather!

January – Key West, Florida

Our pick for an East Coast destination with ideal weather in January is Key West, Florida. With daily highs in the mid-70s, balmy evenings in 60s, and just 4 days of rain … it’s hard to beat!

Key West is famous for its laid-back, friendly view of life, so it’s not surprising it has a plethora of pet friendly activities. From fantastic beaches to a great selection of pet friendly dining options, it’s a vacation spot that you and your pet will both love.
