Dog-friendly beaches in Weymouth

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

Weymouth Beach

Three miles of graded golden sand curving round Weymouth Bay, the classic English seaside beach with donkeys and Punch and Judy. Dorset Council keeps two stretches open all year: the dog exercise area by the Pavilion, and everything from Greenhill Groyne north to Overcombe. The main sandy beach between Greenhill Groyne and the dog exercise area takes dogs from 1 October to 30 April only.
