All of the Norfolk beaches banning dogs until October

These beaches along the Norfolk coast will have restrictions in place for dogs throughout the summer

Dogs will be banned from a number of beaches on the Norfolk coast from this weekend until the start of October. Restrictions limiting where dogs can go along the British coastline will be coming into place from Friday, May 1, and will last until Wednesday, September 30.

Certain beaches in Norfolk will also be subject to Public Spaces Protection Orders, which tackle anti-social issues. The orders help to keep popular tourist beaches clean and safe for the public to use throughout the peak season.

The orders might also be in certain areas to preserve nature and wildlife. According to GOV.UK, if you breach one of the orders, you get an on-the-spot £100 fine, or a fine of up to £1000 if the issue goes to court.

It is worth checking individual beaches before travelling, as dogs might be allowed on some parts of the beach but not others. You might also need to keep dogs on a lead in different places in seaside towns.

If you are looking to take a day trip to Norfolk and want to spend some time on the beach with your dog, you might want to avoid the beaches listed below.
