Where can my dog go?
There are many beaches and dunes to explore along this stretch of coastline. We advise to keep your dog on lead at all times as there is often livestock grazing in the dunes and shorebirds breeding on the beaches.
Where can't my dog go?
During peak shorebird breeding season on the Long Nanny we fence off a propotion of the beach to ensure a safe environment and limit disturbance.
