Dog-friendly walks and outdoor places across the UK

DOG ACCESS IS SEASONAL: dogs can use the accessible beach from 1 October to 30 April. Dogs are banned from Oddicombe Beach from 1 May to 30 September. The northern end beyond the buildings is closed because of rockfall risk and must not be used in any season. The council mentions a separate dog exercise area on Babbacombe Beach; that is a different beach, not an unrestricted zone within Oddicombe. On promenades beside beaches where dogs are excluded, keep dogs on leads. Dogs that are excitable or do not respond well to commands should remain on leads on beaches and promenades. Clear dog waste, supervise dogs and follow posted restrictions. Dog counts, fees, indoor-cafe access and blanket off-lead permission are not inferred. The published 01803 208443 number is the council Beaches team, not a lifeguard or café number. The original licensed marker represents an approximate beach location, not an entrance, tide-safe route or dog-zone boundary. Confirm current restrictions with the council before visiting.
