Miami Beach gets two new dog beaches

If you and Fido are fans of the water, then we've got some good news.

Dogs are now welcome at certain sites on South Beach and Mid Beach, in addition to the North Beach location already established, called Bark Beach.

The areas are places where dog owners frequent and areas without heavy concentrations of sea turtle nests, according to the Office of the City Manager.

The City of Miami Beach expanded beach access to four-legged friends at the following places officially on Nov. 2.
