Nothing beats a day out at the beach! If your pooch enjoys digging<br />
in the sand and dipping their paws in the sea, read our guide to the<br />
best beaches for a doggy day out in East Anglia…<br />
Suffolk<br />
Aldeburgh<br />
Restrictions: Dog ban on main part of the beach from<br />
1 May to 30 September<br />
Type: Pebbles<br />
Though a dog ban remains in place throughout the<br />
summer, the north part of the beach from Wentworth<br />
Hotel to Thorpeness is dog-friendly year round - make<br />
sure you stay within the designated areas. There’s<br />
plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby to refuel after<br />
a long walk.<br />
Covehithe<br />
Restrictions: Dog friendly year round<br />
Type: Sandy<br />
One of Suffolk’s best kept secrets! Experience Suffolk’s<br />
wilderness on this beautiful beach.<br />
Dunwich Heath<br />
Felixstowe<br />
Restrictions: Summer ban on the main beach from<br />
1 May to 30 September<br />
Type: Sand & shingle<br />
The main beach enforces a summer ban but there is<br />
a dog-friendly area from the Spa Pavilion to Arwela<br />
Road, however dogs must be kept on leads.<br />
Lowestoft<br />
Restrictions: Summer ban on the entire beach from<br />
1 May to 30 September<br />
Type: Sand & shingle<br />
Best avoided during the summer, however dogs are<br />
allowed north of Gunton Denes, but be vigilant of<br />
prohibitions.<br />
Southwold<br />
Restrictions: Summer ban from 1 May to 30 September<br />
Type: Sandy<br />
Unfortunately, families take over during the summer but<br />
it’s a great place to visit during winter months where<br />
you’ll often have a large part of the beach to yourself.<br />
Thorpeness<br />
Restrictions: Dog friendly year round, except a small<br />
section which places a summer ban<br />
Type: Pebbles<br />
Most of the beach is dog friendly year round. Tides<br />
can be quite rough so it’s not always suitable for<br />
doggy paddling.<br />
Walberswick<br />
Dunwich Heath<br />
Restrictions: Dog friendly year round<br />
Type: Shingle<br />
A great beach for dogs who love to run, play and<br />
splash. Parts of the beach are steep, especially at<br />
high tide, but wonderful walks to Walberswick and<br />
Southwold can be enjoyed. Bear in mind that it is also<br />
the home of RSPB Minsmere so some restrictions may<br />
apply on the Heath during nesting season.<br />
Walberswick<br />
Restrictions: Dog friendly year round<br />
Type: Sand<br />
With its dunes, large sandy beach and beautiful<br />
village with a dog-friendly pub, it’s doggy heaven.<br />
