Emsworth Harbour Beach Dogs Policy
Dogs are welcome all year round with no seasonal restrictions.
Leads are advised near the harbour wall and wildlife areas to protect birds and seals. Off-lead exercise is fine on open shingle, provided recall is solid.
Calm, scenic, and ideal for dogs who enjoy sniffing more than sprinting. No reported fines, but manners still matter.
