of Dogs on Exmouth
Beaches
and surrounding beaches
Exmouth
has a mainly flat access from the town to the beach
and nearly all the footpaths have gently slopped kerbs.
BEACH
DOG BANS
(Except dogs in the charge of a registered
blind person)
Between Maer Rocks and Octagon. Refreshment kiosk.
1st May - 30th September
From
the 1st of May, until the end of September only the
2 ends of the beach are for dogs (in
winter all the beach is available)
The mian centre part of the beach is Dog free (during
the dates above) but on both ends its ok for dogs
the whole year. That is the Marina end of the beach
to the Octogon cafe on the beach, near the Deer's
Leap pub.
And the last few metres near Orcombe Point (the cliff
end) it continues around the corner to the small beach,
the best place for dogs, its also a lovely cove to
sit for children to play.
After the next small headland is Sandy Bay beach,
a long beach with the Holiday camp at the other end,
Where NO dogs are allowed, No dog access at the Sandy
Bay end for dogs.
But at the top of the cliffs is a lovely walk to sandy
bay on top of the cliffs, Please have dogs on the
lead as it passes farm land,
The Exmouth beach has slopes at the Orcombe point
end (near cliff) down to the beach. At the Middle
next to the Harbour view cafe (near the Inshore Lifeboat
Station) there is a wide slope and the beach is flat
and access good.
Imperial
recreation Ground
is a large grass area and at low tide on the Estuary
a huge area of sand (take care in cetain areas see
below). Imperial recreation Ground.
A large grassy area behind the railway Station/Sports
centre, please take care on the Estuary when the tide
is out as there is broken glass near the grassy edge
(it was a former tip) but it is clean and just a few
yards further out there is lovely sand towards the
River to walk on. (Please don't walk on the part near
the sports Centre as it can sink.)
The
River Exe has access from the Imperial Recreation
Ground (near the railway station) Left to the corner
where the sea meets the river when the tide is out.
Or
the start of the walk
to Lympstone, a great walk, part of it can be
also on the river bed when the tide is out.

A gentle remainder, please carry more than one bag
for you to clean up after your dog, It's important
to help to keep these areas for Dogs to run on. 99%
or more people do look and clean up. There have been
calls to make the whole beach a non-dog area. So please
clean up for all users. Thank you very much. There
are East Devon Dog Wardens around with instant fines
or Court visits.
