Evening: Dine at Le Café, a popular pet‑friendly eatery offering a varied menu of Indian and continental dishes; enjoy a relaxed dinner while the pet rests by your feet.

Afternoon: Return to the mainland and head to Serenity Beach, a calm stretch where your pet can play off‑leash in the shallow water while you relax under the sun.
Evening: Treat the family to dinner at The Storyteller’s Café, known for its pet‑friendly outdoor seating and a menu that includes kid‑approved pizzas, fresh seafood, and vegetarian options.
Find HotelsIf you’d like to extend your stay, add a half‑day at Auro Beach for a quieter seaside experience or visit the French Quarter for heritage walks and gelato stops. To shorten the trip, combine the boat ride and beach time on the same morning and skip the evening café, opting for a quick take‑away meal at a pet‑friendly stall.
