Sand Bay Beach

Sand Bay provides one of Somerset's finest dog-friendly beaches, stretching for miles of firm sand beneath the dramatic headland of Sand Point. The year-round dog access and spectacular setting make it exceptionally popular with pet owners, while the RSPB reserve at Sand Point adds wildlife interest. The beach earned recognition as 'TikTok famous' with over 23 million views celebrating its dog-friendly credentials. Dogs are welcome year-round across the entire beach, making this one of the premier dog destinations in the South West. The vast expanse ensures space even during busy periods, while the firm sand provides excellent exercise surface. The combination of beach and reserve walks offers variety, while the Sand Bay Tea Room provides dog-friendly refreshments including special doggy afternoon teas. Access is via the old toll road from Weston-super-Mare or by bus, with large car parks behind the beach. The level access and good facilities make it suitable for all abilities. The Sand Bay Retreat and Willow House provide dog-friendly accommodation options directly overlooking the beach. The location provides excellent access to Weston Woods and the South West Coast Path, while the spectacular sunsets create memorable experiences.
