Seaside

Based on a previous thread...

Where is the best dog friendly seaside that is easily reached from the Midlands? Last thing I want to do is end up in Blackpool or somewhere only to find signs for no dogs allowed.

Not quite as far as Blackpool, dog friendly, lots of dunes...have to be onlead in the squirrel reserve. T'is lovely. Sea could be a bit cleaner but ya can't have everything.........

Sorry but nothing wrong with Blackpool my dogs go the beach regular between Bispham and Cleveleys

I go with the paws to beaches Nr Ingoldmells.
Look forward to reading peoples suggestions.

Oof! 127 mi – about 2 hours 20 mins

A bit of a trek for an afternoon walkies. That's the trouble with being slap bang in the middle.

How about Bournemouth ?? you can go to Durley chine end all year round with doggies, mind you I guess its still a couple of hours from Coventry

It was just you mentioned Blackpool so I thought Formby would be closer!!!!!!

Old Hunstanton beach.

about 2-3hrs away depending on traffic.

still a long drive for an afternoon walk.

ooooo......

just another thought......Matlock Bath.....looks like a seaside resort but with a river instead of the sea. and its closer.

I see this is proving quite a challenge

One of these days I'm just gonna bite the bullet and do it. Roxy doesn't mind the car and is perfectly happy going with me to work for a 45 min journey. But 2-3 hours, well that's a challenge.

I'm sure she'd love the sea. She's not a keen swimmer, but likes a paddle as long as she can touch the bottom. I think she'd freak at the waves!
