Review & FAQ:
A jewel of Tallahassee, Dog Island is a beloved barrier island that is frequented for its beautifully kept white sand beaches. Home to 1,842 acres of beach, Dog Island is roughly 6 and a half miles long, and nearly a mile wide. It is an ideal beach-picnic location, a fantastic recreational boating hub, and is also fabulous for shelling, crabbing, and even shore fishing. Though the island is mostly composed of vacation homes and rentals, there is also a small community of full-time residents that make the community welcoming and vibrant. For first-time visitors, the best way to enjoy the island is by boat or airplane. For a convenient stay, book a vacation rental if possible as there are generally no tourist amenities on the island.
