Sand at the foot of the pine-covered chines below Canford Cliffs village, reached by the zig zag from Canford Cliffs Road. A Blue Flag beach, which under BCP Council's rules means no dogs from 1 May to 30 September; from 1 October to 30 April they are welcome. Dogs must be on the lead on the zig zags and promenade even out of season.
Nobody has written one for Canford Cliffs Beach. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Know one we have missed?
Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
