Dog-Friendly Beaches in and Around Dartmouth
The Dartmouth area offers a mix of secluded coves, long shingle stretches and sheltered bays where dogs can enjoy the coastline alongside you. Below is a clear guide to the most convenient dogfriendly beaches for guests staying with us.
-
A quiet, tuckedaway cove close to Dartmouth Castle. Dogs are welcome all year. The walk down is steep but short, and the setting feels peaceful and unspoilt.
-
Another small cove near the castle, reached via steps. Dogs are allowed yearround. Ideal for a quick paddle after a coastal walk.
-
A long, sweeping shingle beach stretching for miles, with dogs welcome throughout the year. Easy access from the road and plenty of space for longer walks.
-
Located at the northern end of Slapton Sands. Dogs are permitted all year and the beach is usually quieter than the central stretch.
-
A wilder, more rural National Trust beach with a natural feel. Dogs are welcome yearround. Access is via a steep track, but the scenery and open space make it a rewarding choice.
-
Dogs are allowed all year on the north side of the beach. A good option for guests exploring the Torbay area.
-
Dogs are welcome from November to March. Outside the main summer season, it’s a beautiful, sheltered beach with excellent facilities.
