Sheppey Beaches Welcome Dogs
There are miles of beaches around the Isle of Sheppey, many of which are dog friendly, with the exception of the three seasonal bathing beaches. We do expect that pet owners comply with the restrictions and are responsible. When you take your dogs on the beach they must be supervised and under control at all times and any fouling must be cleared immediately (up to a £1000 fine).
Current locations where dogs are prohibited between 1 May and 30 September each year:
Sheerness - The beach from an imaginary line at 90 degrees from the centre point of the headland Jacobs Bank (adjacent to Beach Street Car Park) eastward to an imaginary line at 90 degrees from the west side of the steps leading over the sea wall immediately to the east of Sheerness Swimming Pool.
Minster Leas - The beach from an imaginary line at 90 degrees from the east side of the Lifeguard Station on the sea front opposite the Playa Public House eastwards to an imaginary line at 90 degrees from the west side of the vehicle ramp leading to the beach, opposite the Little Oyster Café at 4 Sea Side Avenue.
Leysdown on Sea - The beach from an imaginary line at 90 degrees from Stokes Amusements, eastwards to an imaginary line at 90 degrees from the west of the beach steps opposite the small roundabout at the seaward end of 'The Promenade Road, Leysdown.
Please note that the beaches are governed by wind, tide and adverse weather conditions, take care when walking along the exposed coast of Sheppey and in the vicinity of the cliffs from Minster Leas around to Warden Bay.
