Dog Friendly Attractions in Lyme Regis

Lyme Regis is a hot destination for dog friendly attractions, proudly accommodating our four-legged friends.

 

While we can’t put completely everything in this guide, we have done our best to narrow down the most popular attractions of Lyme Regis that will allow your dog with you on all occasions. 

 

All the shops in Lyme Regis are dog friendly, except the local supermarkets including Tesco Express & The Cooperative Store. 

 

As far as the beaches go, East Beach, Church Cliff and Monmouth Beach are dog friendly all year round (off lead). All dogs must be on a lead between 1st October and 30th April for the Sandy Beach and Pebble Beach (next to The Cobb).

 

There are multiple local walks & trails that allow dogs – be sure to look out for any farm animals on route!

 

If you are looking for the perfect dog-friendly place to stay in Lyme Regis, all  our properties allow a maximum of two-dogs per booking so they too can enjoy the holiday with you.
