Wanderlist: Dog-Friendly Travel Spots & Hidden Gems

Here it is: our dog-friendly Wanderlist, full of places Luna and I have fallen for. Think pup-welcoming hotels, cozy cafés, sandy beaches, scenic parks, lively farmers markets, and those little shops that just make you smile. Whether we’re sniffing out new treats at a market, curling up in a comfy hotel room, or chasing waves at the beach, these are the spots that keep us coming back—and keep our tails wagging.

Quick heads up: pet policies can change in the blink of an eye, so it’s always a good idea to check the latest rules before you and your pup head out.
