Sand status, settled. Each beach carries its month ring — moss means go, rosehip means the council says no.
The shore north of Workington harbour below the old Oldside steelworks slag banks: shingle, rock and firm sand at low water, running up towards Siddick with the Solway open in front and Criffel across the water in Scotland. There is no seasonal dog ban here. Cumberland Council's dog control order lists no beach in the county as either an exclusion area or a dogs-on-lead area, so the sand is open to dogs off the lead all year, which is a genuine finding rather than an omission. It is unpatrolled, there is no lifeguard, and the currents at the mouth of the Derwent are strong, so keep a swimming dog well south of the harbour entrance.
