Dog-friendly beaches in Bantham

Sand status, settled. Each beach carries its month ring — moss means go, rosehip means the council says no.

Bantham Beach

Privately owned surf beach at the mouth of the Avon, run by the Bantham Estate rather than the council, with a gatekeeper on the car park. Dogs are barred from the main beach through the season but the River Beach, on the estuary side, stays open to them all year and grows to many acres at low tide. The estate asks that dogs are kept under control and away from livestock.

Livestock — leads on
