From May 1 new rules are in place for dog walkers along British beaches that could land you a fine if they are broken.
Taking your dog for a walk along the beach might be one of those film-like scenarios, strolling along the coast while your canine friend runs around looking happier than ever. But from May 1, new rules come into force that can land dog owners a hefty fine if you fail to comply.
Dogs are allowed on a vast majority of UK beaches around the country from October 1 to April 30, but as we enter the warmer months, the rules change. Between May 1 and September 30, dogs are only allowed on certain beaches.
