Yorkshire’s ban on dogs on beaches officially comes into play today right up until the end of summer – but while the ban affects Yorkshire’s more popular tourist spots, there are still a number of lovely dog friendly beaches in Yorkshire where our four-legged friends can enjoy their paws in the sand this summer.
The ban aims to allow visitors to Yorkshire’s biggest tourist spots to enjoy the region’s beaches without the risk of fouling or bad behaviour, however, it doesn’t mean that we can’t take our furry friends to the seaside at all – in fact, it’s an opportunity to explore somewhere new.
From huge stretches of sand to hidden bays with waterfalls and quaint cafes, the Yorkshire beaches that do allow dogs to visit in the summer months are actually the best ones – particularly for avid photographers and regular ramblers.
