We are very lucky that most of Guernsey's beaches are dog friendly during the summer months. Saying this dogs are banned between 1st May and 30th September on the following –
- Fermain
- Petit Bot
- L'Erée
- Vazon (Northern end)
- Cobo
- Port Soif
- L'Ancresse
- Pembroke
Dogs are not permitted on Lihou Island and Lihou causeway all year round.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We have had some lovely Spring weather to enjoy many of our beaches with our dogs, but from the 1st May the Summer restrictions for dog owners and horse riding come into place.”
“It is really important when enjoying the beaches and coastline with your dog that they don’t upset the wildlife as migrating birds use them as a rest stop and many others are feeding and breeding.”
“We are coming to the end of the seal pup season, but we pups can be separated from dogs scaring the Mums back into the water if they aren’t under control separating them from their young.”
“We do want dogs and owners to enjoy the coastline as well as keeping wildlife safe.”
“It is also important to note during the same summer months, from 1st May until 30th September inclusive, you cannot ride your horse on any beaches in Guernsey between 10.00am and 7.00pm.”
“There are many dangers on our beaches to our dogs and next month we have our next dog first aid course for those interested check out https://www.gspca.org.gg/services/training-courses .”
