Brohard Paw Park 1850 Harbor Drive South, Venice, FL 34285

"We visited for the first time last week and my dogs absolutely loved it and so did we! Beautiful beach to enjoy the sunset with your pups. There are restrooms nearby just next to the parking lot then you walk through the dog park area to get to the beach where you have a designated area to stay in with your dogs. We did see a couple dogs get a little too worked up and it was an unaltered young male dog that was a pretty big energetic guy and some screaming was involved. There are so many dogs off leash this is truly only a place for friendly well behaved dogs as there were multiple dogs running up to mine to play. My dogs were more excited to see the people there instead of the other dogs haha We will definitely be going back :)"

"Pretty amazing for a public park. Lots of entrances and exits, fresh water for the dogs and a bathing station for two dogs. Came in the morning when the waves were small. Water was warm and 95% of the people were very friendly. But it's a dog park, so you get the usual dog park people and behaviors."

"We loved visiting the paw park and the beach! It was such a nice area and had so many great dogs. The area is kept nice and clean, even with the stinky sulfur walk from the park to the beach, it is worth it!! My dog loves the water and had a great time each visit!"

"Smaller dog beach area than some other areas, but plenty of room. Great parking and plenty of it. Plenty of dog bag dispensers and trash cans, very clean. Double gated fences to keep dogs from running off. Separate small and large dog fenced play areas. Some of the best shell hunting I've seen."
