SUN, SEA…..and REX<br />
With the grey clouds at last starting to give<br />
way to bouts of brilliant sunshine, now's<br />
the time to rejuvenate your senses and<br />
exercise your dog at the same time by<br />
heading for our sparkling coastline. But<br />
where can you and Rex, your<br />
poo-producing, sandwich-stealing pooch<br />
actually go without upsetting everyone<br />
else around you? Read on, Sophie's Pet<br />
Care have got it all sorted...<br />
free bits of hot sausage. Now it's changed<br />
hands, and become a no-dog zone inside.<br />
However, there's a wide selection of<br />
public seating with rejuvenating sea views<br />
outside, and you can grab a snack and a<br />
drink from the beachfront shop. There are<br />
also public conveniences available.<br />
Gundimore Beach at Mudeford is ideal.<br />
Unlike it's neighbour Avon Beach — where<br />
from May they'll fine you and your fourlegged<br />
friend for setting foot on it —<br />
little-known Gundimore, right next door<br />
remains "dog friendly" all the year round.<br />
You can leave your vehicle in the sunken<br />
car park just behind the beach, or admire<br />
the view from the public car park adjacent<br />
to the Noisy Lobster Cafe. It's situated<br />
right on the seafront overlooking the Isle<br />
of Wight.<br />
Gundimore Beach begins just to the right<br />
of this car park and continues in a westerly<br />
direction up toward Mudeford Quay.<br />
There's usually a few dogs on the beach<br />
cavorting around and plunging manfully<br />
into the freezing waves. No one bothers<br />
them or you as long as you pick up your<br />
poo (well, not your poo exactly.... umm,<br />
you know what we mean).<br />
The Noisy Lobster Cafe used to be<br />
dog-friendly, didn't mind sandy floors and<br />
wet dogs and would often dish them out<br />
We can supply a walk route sheet if you<br />
fancy a wander around Gundimore in case<br />
you're stuck for inspiration.<br />
If you'd like a printable PDF of this walk<br />
route that you can take with you, simply<br />
email walkies@sophiespetcare.com and<br />
we'll send you one completely free of<br />
charge, and tell you about the services we<br />
can offer to you and your dog.<br />
See you next month from some more<br />
canine capers and hot news from the<br />
dogosphere!<br />
