The draw of Lincolnshire’s coastline is apparent, with its vast sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and numerous options for seaside activities. Exploring these coastal beauties with your canine companion brings a new level of joy and excitement to any beach holiday. In this guide, we’ll take you on a tour of the best dog-friendly beaches in Lincolnshire, from the busy coastline of Skegness to the peaceful sands of Anderby Creek. So grab your leash, pack your beach towels, and prepare to go on an incredible seaside adventure.
Skegness South Beach
Skegness welcomes all, including dogs. Pooches are permitted on the southern portion of the beach, known as South Bracing. It runs from South Parade, near the Festival Car Park, down Lagoon Walk and up to the beach cottages. This portion is popular among dog walkers up to Gibraltar Point.
While dogs are welcome in Skegness, the busiest portions of the beach are subject to a restriction that’s in effect from May 1st to September 30th. Now, this doesn’t mean you can’t take your dog to Skegness. Through the town centre and along the pier, dogs should be properly leashed and in control.
Sutton on Sea
Dogs are permitted on the beach portion away from the main town and attractions, much as they are in Skegness. They’re welcome on the beach at Sutton on Sea, from the Promenade to the Pullerover on Furlong Road. Additionally, they’re also permitted from an area at the end of Main Central Beach in the direction of Trusthorpe. Similar to Skegness, you can take your dog through the town, but they need to be leashed and controlled properly.
Ingoldmells Beach
Ingoldmells allows dogs to roam freely on the sandy South Beach all year. So, if you’re searching for a reliable area to soak up the sun and get your dog some much-needed exercise, this could be the place for you. There’s never a dull moment at Ingoldmells beach! This is thanks to our local attractions, including amusement parks, cafes and coastal walks.
If you stay at Kingfisher Caravan Park in one of our dog-friendly caravans, you’ll be right where the action is. Located on Sea Lane in Ingoldmells, you’re only a short distance away from all the fun. Whether you want to take your dog to the beach or for a little nature walk, you’ll be able to do that easily when you stay with us.
Moggs Eye Beach
Moggs Eye, also known as Huttoft Beach, is ideal for dog owners looking for a more relaxed beach experience. Tucked away along the Lincolnshire coast, this hidden gem provides miles of untouched shoreline and breathtaking sea views. It also includes parking that leads directly to the beach.
Saltfleetby Theddlethorpe Dunes
Nature enthusiasts adore this beach, and there are no dog restrictions in place. It’s a natural environment of salt marsh and sand. It’s declared a National Nature Reserve with a variety of habitats, including mudflats, freshwater marshes, and sand dunes. In the UK, the natterjack toad can only be found in the marshes behind the beach. In addition, the beach is enormous. The tide never seems to fully come in and getting to the water’s edge is usually a long walk. It’s rare to find crowds along this stretch of Lincolnshire coastline even in the summertime.
Chapel St Leonards
The main pullover is the only area where dogs are not allowed. So you should take your dog to the quieter areas away from the main stretch. Dogs must be kept on leads according to local laws. Not only that, but it also has a dog-friendly pub, called Admiral Benbow Beach Bar, that welcomes dogs and owners with open arms. They also have their very own doggy menu, so it’s a great place to stop for a little snack.
Anderby Creek
Anderby Creek, nestled in the rolling dunes of Lincolnshire’s coastline, is an ideal spot for dog lovers looking for peace and nature. The only part of the pullover where dogs are allowed is 270 metres south of the main pullover, the rest of the pullover is open to dogs. Anderby Creek’s atmosphere, incredible sunsets and sweeping views of the sea make it an ideal location for a day of seaside enjoyment with your dog, without the hustle and bustle of crowds. Not only that, but it also has a dog-friendly cafe called Anderby Beach Cafe.
