Dog-Friendly Beaches

Putsborough Sands Set in a picturesque location on the coast you will find the wide Putsborough Sands beach. One half of this sandy beach does have a restriction at times during the year, however, the other half has plenty of space for your four-legged friend to run amok and tire themselves out.

Saunton Sands Located just around the coast from Putsborough is the far-reaching Sands. The three and a half miles of sand that are found here are extremely popular with those looking for a refreshing amble, and your pooch will love it.

Westward Ho! The resort town of Westward Ho! is a favourite for dog-walkers as the two mile sandy beach is extremely accessible, and for the majority of the year is entirely dog-friendly, with the southern end being restricted during the summer months. The beach is also backed by a large area of grassland, but be aware of lead restrictions when there is livestock grazing.

Woolacombe is constantly voted as one of the top beaches in the UK, in part due to this three-mile long stretch of golden sand has winning both the Blue Flag and Premier Seaside Beach awards for its cleanliness, water quality and facilities. The sand here is ideal for running about, and there are rock pools to cool your paws off, or take a dip in the sea! Dogs are not allowed between the rocks at the north end of the beach and the stream from Good Friday or 1st April (whichever is earliest) until the first Monday in November. They must be on leads from the stream to Mill Rock from the same dates but may be exercised without restriction from Mill Rock onwards.
