Harbour View dog-friendly beach, RoI
Big dog walking space overlooking the river.
Big dog walking space overlooking the river.
A long sandy beach. A notice by the car park requests that dogs are kept on a lead because of sheep grazing on the land nearby.
Short walk from Westport Quays, but gives a fabulous view of Croagh Patrick and can be combined with walk around Wesport House grounds and woods.
Also has large grass beach park and plenty of free parking.
Dogs are welcome on all of the beach in winter, and for the central beach area there are designated dog areas between May 1st and September 30th. These are signed and easy to find.
Another good dog-friendly and sandy beach in the north-east of the island. Kirk Michael has a shop and pub, and the long beach is pretty much dog heaven for walkies and a swim.
Lovely sandy blue-flag beach where dogs are allowed all year. They do have to be on leads.
Dogs are welcome at Clonque beach all year round with no restrictions.
Another fantastically huge sandy and dog-friendly beach, accessed on a walkway through protected dunes. The beach is divided roughly in half, with dogs allowed on one side all year round.
Pure white sand and dunes with lots of space to run around
For those who wish for a long beach and a dog-friendly pub close by, this is as good as it gets. There is a choice of walking along the sand or over dunes to view a martello tower.
Miles and miles of coastal walks in both directions
