Online Interactive Guide to Dog-Friendly Torbay Beaches

A service of EnglandSouthWest.com

Below is a comprehensive list of the Torbay area in Devon beaches, arranged alphabetically by their Dog rules. There are 2 groups. Dogs welcome all year and not allowed from 1^st May to 30^th September, All day. The dog lovers also understand that there are good reasons for disallowing dogs, such as working harbours etc.

Also some of us humans may not want to always be around doggies and that is OK too! So that is why all are included here.The list’s second column has any special notes; a Google map reference link; UK Ordnance Survey map grid reference and the closest post code to be found.

Plug the OS grid map reference code into OS Opendata Viewer or the Ordnance Survey Get-a-map sites or use with your paper OS maps to locate the beaches. Use the post codes for your GPS, to help you get there by car or other means.

Also please be a responsible dog owner and clean up after your dog(s).
