A few practical tips

Bring a long lead for flexibility on the seafront, where some areas require dogs to be on lead year-round.

Pack a towel (provided) when you go out and about – most dogs find water sooner or later, especially at the beach: ).

Check current “dogs on beaches” guidance before you head out, especially between Southsea Castle and Eastney, where seasonal regulations apply.
