Dogs are now allowed on popular beach
Dogs will once again be allowed to walk off-lead on west Dorset beaches.
From today dog walkers are allowed to take their pets onto Seatown beach and West Bay's East and West beach.
Dogs are also allowed around the harbourside and on the esplanade but must be on a lead.
In Burton Bradstock, dogs are allowed to walk again at Hive beach .
Further along the coast, Charmouth west beach and Lyme Regis front beach are also open to dogs.
Cogden beach, Eype beach, Church Cliff beach and Monmouth beach are dog friendly all year round, as well as certain designated areas in West Bexington.
Dogs will be allowed on these sections of beach until May 1, 2025.
