Discover Dog Friendly Beaches in Kent, Essex, East Sussex and beyond

There are more dog friendly beaches to explore than you might initially expect. Even in bustling seaside towns with the typical dog restrictions, venturing further along the shore or heading to the next bay often leads to a dog friendly beach. Use our Dog Friendly Beach Guide map below to discover all the dog friendly beaches and find the perfect spot for you and your dog to enjoy.

While on the beach, stay vigilant and ensure your dog avoids hazards such as left and washed up litter, dead fish, seaweed, slippery rock pools with sharp shells, or areas that may contain quicksand and try not to let your dog drink the sea water.

Finally, always check the tide times before setting out. It’s crucial to maintain a clear path back as tides can rise rapidly, potentially leaving you stranded.
