Anna Maria is a dog friendly island, so you will find dogs are welcomed into many Anna Maria businesses and some outdoor dining establishments. As long as your pet is well behaved and unobtrusive, you will encounter very few problems.

Haleys Motel welcomes well behaved (non barking) dogs under 50 lb. until Jan 31st, 2016.

Barking Dogs cannot be left unattended in your room.

There is a one time $50 cleaning fee.     Dogs must be kept on a leash per the city ordinance.

• The town of Holmes Beach enforces the following:
• Dogs must be kept on a leash per the city ordinance.
• On Anna Maria Island, Dogs are not allowed on the beaches.
• You must clean up after your pet or you can be fined. (free bags at the office)

There is a dog park close by near the ball field beside the Holmes Beach Police Station/City Hall. They have seperate big dog and small dog sections.  The causeway (that you cross on Manatee Ave coming to the island) allows dogs to swim and run off leash.
