Dog-friendly beaches in Beesands

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

Beesands Beach

A mile of steep shingle in Start Bay, backed by a single row of cottages, the Cricket Inn and a freshwater ley. No dog exclusion applies here in the South Hams order, so it is open to dogs all year; the shelving beach and strong undertow are the reason to think twice, not the rules.
