Planning a visit to one of Wales’s finest beaches? Check there are no dog bans in place
Pet Check provide a list of the popular Welsh beaches where bans or partial bans may be in place.
Most bans operate from 1st May to 30 September, however, there are a minority of beaches around the UK that impose longer bans sometimes starting as early as Easter of 1 April, or beach events may force sudden unexpected closures.
The ‘No dogs on this beach’ ban signs posted up around beach promenades, nearby car parks and maps on council websites that provide more detailed information for visitors showing where and where not dogs can be walked.

Beach doggie tips to remember –
- To take lots (more than usual) of fresh water and a collapsible bowl for your thirsty dog. Seawater is salty and will make your dog even more thirsty.
- Have old towels to dry your dog if they’ve been swimming. Provide them with towels to sit on, rather than the sand, and towels help to clean off the sand before going home!
- A sun canopy or umbrella shade is important, not just for you, but also for your dog who can catch sunburn as much as you can. Check out Pet Check Shop for supplies.
- You may need to use a short and/or long dog lead during restriction times, and take a dog muzzle if you prefer your dog to wear one on busier beaches. Dogs can act out character in new, unknown places often feeling anxious.
- Please remember to take your rubbish home with you. That includes dog poop which is your responsibility to clean up at all times.
To get the very best out of a special day trip, plan in advance.
- Pre-book your car park space if necessary.
- Check all local social media before setting out including if there are traffic build-ups in the area so you are not wasting time sitting in a hot car.
- Check tide times for the best times to be on the beach. We recommend two hours after high tide allows the tide to be going out, sand and shingle drying out and gives more space on the beach.
- Remember to buy sun block for you and your pet before its too hot weather, apply before leaving home.
- Ensure your dog has ventilated space in your vehicle and also sunshades protecting them from direct sunlight whilst travelling.
REMEMBER
TAKE HOME YOUR BEACH RUBBISH AND DOG POO when there’s no bins
