Key Rule Change Impacting Dog Owners on Hundreds of UK Beaches
More than 600 UK beaches have reopened to dogs after seasonal rules ended, while councils say some local restrictions still vary by site.
- Seasonal dog bans ended across the UK, allowing pets back onto more than 600 beaches after restrictions lifted yesterday. Dog walkers can now enjoy seaside trips with their pets once more.
- Councils implemented the Public Spaces Protection Order to maintain hygiene, protect wildlife, and prevent clashes during peak summer months. Owners who breached these rules faced penalties of up to £1,000.
- Across the North East, dogs are now permitted on restricted sections of Whitley Bay, Tynemouth Longsands, Cullercoats Bay, Sandhaven Beach, Roker Beach, and Seaburn Beach. Most Northumberland beaches welcome dogs all year.
- In County Durham, residents can now walk dogs on the previously restricted section of Seaton Carew Beach between North Shelter and Seaton Carew Golf Club. Other County Durham beaches allow year-round access.
- While seasonal bans have ended, owners should check local rules as restrictions vary by area. These limitations do not apply to guide dogs, who remain permitted on beaches while working at any time.
