Overview

West Bay Beach in Dorset is a beautiful sandy beach on the Jurassic Coast, offering year-round dog access outside the summer season. This picturesque beach features soft sand perfect for dogs to run and play, with gentle waves and shallow waters that are safe for dogs to swim and paddle. The beach is backed by dramatic golden cliffs and offers spectacular views of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Dogs are welcome year-round except during the summer season (typically May-September), making it perfect for autumn, winter, and spring visits. The moderate access makes it suitable for dogs with good mobility, with good parking and facilities nearby.
