Cape Town makes an effort to make its attractions and establishments welcoming to pet owners and their furry companions. Many of its beaches are pet-friendly, although they have varying policies. For instance, Beta Beach - Bakoven, Froggy Pond, and Long Beach - Kommetjie are fine with you bringing your dogs even if they’re not on a leash, while Capricorn, Nine Miles, and Milton require you to have them leashed. Meanwhile, beaches such as Sunrise, Big Bay, and Llandudno follow a schedule of when dogs can be brought there. There are also pet-friendly parks such as the Company’s Garden, De Waal Park, and Gree Pont Urban Park. Accommodations that welcome four-legged companions are also aplenty. So, give you and your pet a treat by staying at one of these best pet-friendly Airbnbs in Cape Town, South Africa.
