Is West Bay beach dog friendly?

Dogs are allowed off lead on all 3 of the beaches at West Bay between 1st October and 30th April.

Dogs are not permitted on East Beach (east of the harbour) or West Beach (west of the harbour) between 1st May and 30th September.

There is a third beach at West Bay where dogs are welcome year round. This is separated from West Beach by a rocky groyne.

We kindly remind visitors that dogs should be kept on a lead when walking around the harbour or pier.
