Dog-friendly beaches in Lyme Regis

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

Lyme Regis Front Beach

The sandy town beach below Marine Parade, the one families aim for and the one dogs are shut out of in season. Dorset Council's order allows dogs here from 1 October to 30 April only. Monmouth Beach to the west and Church Cliff Beach to the east are open all year, and both are a two-minute walk away.

Beach DOGS WELCOME

Monmouth Beach

Long shingle and pebble beach running west from the Cobb towards the Undercliff, backed by beach huts and the ammonite pavement at low tide. Dorset Council lists it as open to dogs all year with no seasonal exclusion. Steeply shelving in places, so it suits a walk more than a swim.
