Our Dog-Friendly Insider Tips for the South Coast

The South Coast is full of dog-friendly adventures, from long days relaxing on dog-friendly beaches, to embarking on cliffside walks and roaming forest trails.

You'll find that many beaches along the south coast welcome furry friends. Camber Sands offers wide, sandy stretches that are perfect for off-lead zoomies. West Wittering features a dog-friendly area where your pup can freely splash in the waves and dig their paws into the sand. And in Dorset, Studland Bay and the calm areas of Weymouth Beach are great for playing with your four-legged friends.

If you're looking for something more exhilarating with your active canine, head to the National Parks! The South Downs National Park is a dream for dog walking adventures, with plenty of walking trails to explore. Alternatively, The Seven Sister Cliffs near Eastbourne are a rewarding hike where you'll experience breathtaking views.

Of course, a trip to the South Coast would be incomplete without a visit to the New Forest in Hampshire. Here, you'll discover endless woodland trails, open heathland, and even a chance to spot wild ponies!

For the history buffs out there, take a trip to dog-friendly historic estates and gardens like Arundel Castle and Corfe Castle, both of which welcome dogs to sniff around their grounds. Exmouth Gardens also welcomes dogs on leads and even has a dog-friendly steam railway!

Afterwards, stop by one of the many dog-friendly pubs and cafes in coastal towns like Brighton, Lymington, Poole and Rye. Your furry friend can expect plenty of attention from staff and maybe even some treats! After a fun day, return to one of our dog-friendly hotels or pet-friendly cottages to snuggle up together and enjoy the comfort.
