Hi all after a dog friendly beach not too far from west midlands (staffordshire) we are planning to go for day this weekend!

Ynyslas near Aberystwyth is lovely as is Black Rock Sands near Porthmadog. My parents are on the Staffs boarder and normally head there.

Old Hunstanton on the north Norfolk coast is good with the multi-coloured cliffs...... it's a couple of hours from me. The cafe on the lifeboat slip does great lemon drizzle cake too and Nene valley country park on the way back is okay for a quick, 30 mins, leg stretch/pee break!

Thank you

Formby

Wow, that brings back memories, its a long time since I've been to Formby with the dogs but used to go a lot. Talacre on N Wales Coast and West Kirby on the Wirral are also good dog beaches, particularly now the school holidays are over.

Formby

Does Formby have sea as well as beach ? I ask because I recently went to Southport and it took 90 minutes brisk walking to find the sea. Dogs loved it but I've never encountered a beach without the sea before.

I thought this was a trick question at first

Horse rider yes i can tell you that there is sea there all day. And it was lovely- huge beach very quiet this morning few horses lots of dogs did get busy this afternoon but plenty of space if you moved away from car park area.
Picture will follow
