Dog-Friendly Weston-super-Mare
Weston is great for dogs - but check the seasonal beach rules first. Dog restrictions usually apply to parts of the main beach in summer (typically May to September).
Quick answer
Yes, Weston is dog-friendly. Dogs can use the beach all year from the Grand Pier north to Knightstone, and from Royal Sands south to Uphill. Between the Grand Pier and Royal Sands they're banned 1 May–30 September, 9am–7pm. Dogs must be on a lead on the promenade; Sand Bay allows dogs at any time.
