It goes without saying we love our beaches, and we all have a responsibility to respect our town, our award-winning seafront, gardens and open spaces - so while you’re here please respect, protect and enjoy the resort.
If you do visit the beach and it’s too busy, then why not find another quieter area of beach – there’s plenty of seafront to choose from!
Dogs must be kept on a lead on the promenades, Piers, cliff paths and zig zags at all times and may only be exercised on certain sections of beach. Please remember to pick up after your dog.
Please be aware that reflected heat from the sea and sand can quickly create serious problems for dogs left in cars on the seafront.
If a beach looks too busy why not travel further along the Coast and check out more of the beautiful beaches in Dorset, including Poole beaches.
