Before you visit
Dog-friendly rules can change, especially around busy times, weather, indoor seating, beach restrictions and special events. If you are travelling specially with your dog, it is worth checking with the business before you set off.
It is also worth checking seasonal beach rules before letting dogs onto particular sections of the beach.
