🚫🐶 Attention dog owners! Starting May 1st 2026, many Welsh beaches will be off-limits to pets until September 30th. This annual dog ban is gearing up to ensure that our beautiful coastlines are nice and tidy for everyone. 🏖️
From Anglesey’s Beaumaris and Benllech to Swansea’s Langland Bay and Port Eynon, several spots across Wales will be implementing these restrictions. While it’s sad news for our four-legged friends who love a good sandy run, it’s important to ensure everyone’s beach experience is pleasant and safe!
Don’t worry, the ban lifts on October 1st, and your pups can enjoy all the freedom again. Remember, guide dogs are exempt, and some areas may have partial bans with clear signs to guide you.
If you’re planning a trip to the beach this summer, here’s just a glimpse of where dogs won’t be allowed:
🌊 Pembrokeshire: Full bans at Tenby North Beach and Whitesands, with partial bans at spots like Saundersfoot and Newgale.
🌞 Ceredigion: Stay clear of popular areas like Aberystwyth North and Mwnt.
🏝️ Gwynedd: Restrictions in stunning beach locations like Barmouth and Abersoch.
🏄♀️ Swansea: Say goodbye to doggy fun at Bracelet Bay and Caswell Bay.
Remember to check local signage as you plan your visits, and let’s all work together to keep our coastline clean and enjoyable for every visitor.
While the bans are in place, make use of designated dog exercise areas. Every beach has its own rules, and maps are available to show where your furry pals can play during these months.
We know you love your pets, and these temporary measures aim to balance the needs of all beachgoers. Have a happy and responsible summer by the sea! 🌊🐾
