Overview
- The seasonal exclusions, which began Friday, run until September 30 across many council-run beaches in Wales, Essex and Sussex.
- WalesOnline published a county-by-county list naming full and partial exclusions, with maps and signs that show exactly where dogs are still allowed.
- Tendring Council says byelaws are enforced by seafront teams, with clearly marked zones and fines up to £500 for breaches, while dogs on adjacent promenades must be on a lead.
- Arun District Council set bans on defined stretches at Bognor Regis, Felpham and Littlehampton, requires leads on nearby promenades, and restricts horses between 10am and 6pm for the same period.
- Guide dogs are exempt, and many areas keep designated dog-exercise sections open, though one WalesOnline column calls for peak-time rules instead of blanket bans.
