Annual dog beach ban about to come into force
We are reminding dog owners that annual restrictions on Arun’s bathing beaches will come into force on 1 May.
To keep our beaches clean, safe and accessible, dogs are prohibited from these beach areas between 1 May and 30 September each year:
- Bognor Regis – from Bognor Regis Sailing Club ramp to Gloucester Road
- Felpham – from Canning Road to Felpham Sailing Club
- Littlehampton – from East Pier to Norfolk Road
Dogs must be kept on a lead when walking on the promenades alongside these areas.
Please remember that your dog is your responsibility at all times and that includes picking up their poo. Dog owners who are seen to be walking their dog on beaches with restrictions or on the promenades, off-lead, will be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice.

Our four-legged friends are welcome on other stretches of our coastline all year round.
There is also a summer restriction on horses, which are not allowed on any beach between 10 am to 6 pm from 1 May to 30 September.
If you do want to ride your horse on the beach outside these times, be aware the shingle sea defences may make access difficult.
