Here's a reminder of what beaches you are not able to walk your dog on during the summer.

From May 1st some beaches in Pembrokeshire are the subject of dog bans until 30th September each year.

Why can't I walk my dog on those beaches?

The bye-laws prohibiting dogs from areas of certain beaches exist primarily to protect the interests of bathers during the summer season. The ban is in force between the 1st May until the 30th September. As from the 1st October dogs are once more welcome on the beaches.

It is aimed at ensuring the safety and pleasure of the majority who would wish to use the beach's for sunbathing and swimming or similar seaside leisure activities.
