Many of the beaches across North Devon are dog-friendly – some have open access all year round, whilst others offer different zones in peak seasons, but all are clearly marked.

Most beaches in North Devon are privately owned and most also allow dogs between 1 October and 30 April.

Visit our Beaches in North Devon webpage for a full list of which beaches allow dogs, whether they should be kept on a lead and which months they are and aren't allowed.

Please remember that even on beaches where there are no dog restrictions, dogs should be kept in sight and under control at all times and owners are required to always clean up after them.
