Where the zones divide: The wooden chalet marks the point east of which dogs may stop. The National Trust asks that dogs be kept on a short lead from 1 March to 31 July for ground-nesting birds. Dorset Council states the restriction runs from 1 May; the National Trust, as landowner, states 1 June. The landowner's date is used here. This is a landowner request, not a Public Spaces Protection Order.
Hive Beach is a stunning mixed sand and shingle beach on Dorset's Jurassic Coast, with unspoiled natural beauty. This picturesque beach features soft sand areas ideal for dogs to run and play, plus fascinating rock pools and shingle sections for exploration. The beach is backed by dramatic cliffs and offers spectacular views of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. From 1 June to 30 September, dogs are not permitted on the beach directly in front of the café (the main beach access); dogs on a lead can walk east along the beach past the wooden chalet. The National Trust also asks that dogs are kept on a lead between 1 March and 31 July to protect ground-nesting birds. The excellent access makes it suitable for dogs of all ages and mobility levels, with good parking and facilities nearby.
