The end of September marks the opening of most UK beaches to dog owners.
Seasonal dog bans in the UK vary by location and are typically imposed by local authorities rather than on a national level. These bans control dogs on certain beaches or specific areas of beaches during the primary tourist season.
We are announcing an end, but admit we may be a bit premature in some areas, as the start and end dates of seasonal dog bans can vary. We believe most seasonal dog bans finish at the end of August and September, although some may extend into October.
To find the exact dates for a specific beach’s seasonal dog ban, please check ourย dog-friendly beach listย or beach information pages, where we provide details on when the ban begins and ends.
If you are a dog owner looking for UK dog-friendly days out, places to eat, or places to stay, check out our sister dog-friendly site, MyPAWfectPlace, which also offers mobile apps.
