Dog control

Leash orders

It is advisable to keep your dog on a lead in all public areas.

It is a legal requirement to do so where a leash order is in place.

Dogs on beaches

In some areas dogs are banned from certain beaches during summer or holiday periods.

Bans maybe also be instigated by private beach owners.
