You can take your pet to shore and barge up against a mosquito canal to find dry land which is what I did

Quiet anchorage with good holding and no wakes after sunset. Be aware that tugs with cargo use the ICW. Make sure you're well away from the channel. Very light current, wind protection. Limited pet access on a small strip of firm sand across from the anchorage.

The anchorage is a good alternative if RE Mayo is full. It has good all-around protection and you can find shore access for your dog by entering one of the mosquito canals and barging up against the band to let the dog out on dry ground.
