SANDWICH BAY

This predominantly shingle beach out on the east coast is a quiet, beautiful option for a seaside stroll with your dog. There are no facilities once you are on the beach, but you are very close to the stunning town of Sandwich.

This atmospheric and historic town and its half-timber buildings offer a glimpse into the past, as well as plenty of good pubs, several of which are dog-friendly, local shops and cafes.

Be aware that the beach is on a private estate, so you will have to pay £7 to drive your car up to it. (But you can come and go all day after paying.) Alternatively, you can park closer to the town and walk down. You can also find great pet-friendly accommodation at Stour Cottage nearby.

Walk Length: Up to you! Difficulty: Easy Starting Point: Car park Terrain: Beach, shingle, sand Free Parking? Yes, but there is a fee for cars to access the beach
