Dogs
Leashed dogs are fine
One of the better forts to bring a dog to: leashed at six feet, they can come inside the fort itself and along every trail on the monument. Not in the visitor centre. Do not leave a dog in the car here between June and September.

Visit Fort Pulaski National Monument on Cockspur Island, a significant site where the 1862 fall of its brick walls to rifled cannon effectively ended the age of masonry forts. This paid historic site near Savannah offers a chance to explore the expansive fort grounds and understand a pivotal moment in military history.
