DOG FRIENDLY BEACHES
Barked by Pupstar - Editor
If you love walkies on the beach then Norfolk is definitely
the place for you! There are beaches to suit all dogs - sandy,
pebbly, marshy and even muddy! Nearly all the beaches in
Norfolk are very dog friendly. There are just a few little
restrictions in some of the towns and tourist hot spots which
we have mentioned.
Beaches are listed in geographical order from Snettisham to Gt.
Yarmouth.
SNETTISHAM
This beach is a haven for nature lovers, totally
uncommercialised and usually very peaceful. From the beach
car park (charges apply) you can walk along the beach towards
the RSPB Snettisham Nature Reserve. If you enter the Reserve
you have to ask your human to pop you on the lead so you don’t
disturb the birds and other wildlife. The beach is more shingle
than sand but access is very easy. The tide goes a long way out
and it becomes rather muddy and a bit sticky so don’t paddle
out too far! There is also the option to walk along the grassy
area parallel to the beach towards Heacham.
HEACHAM
Heacham has two beaches, North and South, both of which
have car parks, snack bars and toilets. From the North Beach
you can walk along to Hunstanton either on the promenade or
on the beach. Like Snettisham, the beach can be very muddy in
places especially when the tide is out so do take care! You can
also walk on the path that runs next to the Heacham River
towards Snettisham.
HUNSTANTON
The humans would rather we stayed away from the town beach
between the 10th of April and the 31st of October, but this is
only a small section of beach from the end of the promenade
by the cliffs to the boat launch ramp. We can walk along the
promenade throughout the year but only if our human is on a
lead. There are plenty of poo bins on the prom. There are no
restrictions on the beaches north and south of this section so
there is still loads of space for us to run and play. The North
Beach takes you to the stripy cliffs of Hunstanton which provide
a stunning backdrop for holiday pics and are totally unique in
