Fort Desoto is by far one of the best locations for an afternoon at the beach, a picnic, a stroll around a historical fort, a day with your four-legged friend, etc.
There is a place inside the park to rent canoes, kayaks, and bicycles for a reasonable fee. The beach area on the west side of the park is the nicest since it is right on the Gulf of Mexico. The dog park and beach area are located on the south beach providing a fenced area for your pet as well as a designated (not fenced) area on the beach itself.
