There are loads of beaches that welcome dogs. The best of the bunch (according to TripAdvisor), Rhossili Bay, allows dogs all year round.
Dogs are allowed on all of these beaches in some way shape or form – but bear in mind there may be restrictions with regards to access or seasonal dog bans. More information is available on the individual beach pages.
That’s right – whenever you fancy. Bring your furry friend at any time to these beaches in any weather – flip flops or wellies.
