A magnificent three-mile stretch of golden Blue Flag sand backed by dunes, one of the best surf beaches in England and a set-jetting-famous view. It runs on a zone system for dogs: the busy north end is closed to dogs in the season, but the long southern half beyond Mill Rock is open to dogs off-lead all year.
📅 Zoned: north end closed to dogs Good Friday or 1 April (whichever earlier) to 30 September; south of Mill Rock open to dogs off-lead all year
