Walking at low tide

Dog restrictions

While many beaches have areas where dogs are allowed year-round, some popular spots like Brighton Beach and Hastings have seasonal restrictions typically from May to September, so it’s advisable to check local signage.

Dogs are banned from all Blue Flag beaches. Areas which ban dogs will normally be clearly sign posted. There are restrictions in place on main resort beaches between 1st May and 30th September
