The beach at the bottom of the Fisherman's Walk cliff lift, where the built-up seafront begins to give way to the Southbourne cliffs. Fisherman's Walk itself is a Blue Flag beach and closed to dogs from 1 May to 30 September, but BCP Council names everything east of it, towards Southbourne, as open all year. The lift saves the climb.
THE SMALL PRINTBCP Council: Fisherman's Walk is a Blue Flag beach, so dogs are excluded 1 May to 30 September. The beach east of Fisherman's Walk to Southbourne is open to dogs all year.
Nobody has written one for Fisherman's Walk Beach. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
