Full list of Norfolk beaches where dogs are welcome all year round

These beaches might be the perfect place to go with your dog throughout the summer.

While many beaches along the Norfolk coast have introduced bans on dogs in some popular tourist hotspots from Friday, May 1, until the start of October, there are still plenty of places that welcome dogs throughout the year. You can still enjoy a trip to the beach with the whole family, including your dog, this summer.

Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) help to make sure busy beaches visited by families clean and safe during the peak times. However, some of the quieter beaches and parts of the coast will allow you to walk your dog if you are looking to escape to the seaside.

One of the most popular beaches in Norfolk that is known for its brightly coloured beach huts, Wells-next-the-Sea, welcomes dogs throughout the summer. The beach café, where you can grab sandwiches, pastries, and a hot drink for your trip, is also dog-friendly with a few treats and ice creams for dogs available.

Some of these beaches do have small areas that are restricted or where dogs need to be kept on a lead because of bird nesting so it is worth checking exactly where you can go with your dog before your trip. Here are all of the dog-friendly beaches in Norfolk that you can visit in the summertime:

• Old Hunstanton;
• Holme-next-the-Sea;
• Thornham;
• Burnham Overy Staith;
• Holkham;
• Wells-next-the-Sea;
