I don’t think you can with out getting very wet

If you've got to buy a parking ticket buy one !

If you turn right on the beach opposite the Boathouse Pub you can't go wrong. After walking the dog take a drink in the Boathouse which is animal friendly.

Only at one end of the beach until end of September, After that the whole beach.

We never got a parking ticket even though we were a few minutes over the time then I read reviews and expected one anyday but that was April so now in the clear.

grahamandcherry We overstayed by a few minutes on four occasions within a few days, wondered why the car park was nearly empty. Its not as though we parked and didn't pay - just gossiped with a few other dog owners. Christie Estates and their owner Hector?should be ashamed of themselves - we now park in lay by after the Marine Base. Remember this beach has failed the tests for swimming water 21 out of the last 22 years and to add insult to injury the local councillors are pressing to stop dogs using the beach. The beaches at Westward Ho are free to park in the winter and only £3.50 for the day in summer and are blue flag, just not well signposted.

Flippin' heck Jeanine. Remember, it is not a fine but an invoice (as they are not a local authority they have n power to fine). Just keep telling them that you don't accept their "invoice" for whatever your reasons are.

Hi, It's not pretty and I got stung for a 12 minute overstay on a 3 hour ticket I bought. Its gone to appeal but not hopeful and won't be paying a bean. Did you get anywhere with christie estates and Andrew wollacott?

Hi there, dogs are most welcome on the beach - it's a great stretch of sand for them to run - just make sure you take your Doggy bags!
