Relax, roam, and play on the private beach

What really makes the Surf & Sand Hotel a stand out for anyone traveling to Pensacola Beach with pets is the hotel’s private beach along Little Sabine Bay. Just steps from the outdoor pool deck, the Surf & Sand Hotel’s own waterfront cove is where guests and pets can relax, roam, and play without the crowds you would typically find on a public beach.

Beach lounge chairs and beach umbrellas are available on the private beach. And the views of Little Sabine Bay’s calm waters provide a truly serene beach going experience.

Adjacent to the outdoor pool deck and private beach is a separate beach area that, while not connected to the private beach, has its own fun features for guests and their pets. This area includes additional beach lounge chairs, beach umbrellas, and a fire pit. The fire pit is a popular spot for spending time with friends and family during those cooler Pensacola Beach evenings.
