Dogs on beaches
There are restrictions on dogs on some beaches and sea fronts in Swansea.
Swansea is blessed with plenty of beaches and we want everyone to enjoy them all year round. That's why, every year, from 1 May to 30 September a byelaw comes into force which restricts dogs and their owners to specific 'dog friendly' beaches.
The table below shows which beaches dogs are allowed on all year round and which beaches dogs are not allowed on between May and September. Dog owners who fail to keep to dog friendly beaches risk being issued with a fixed penalty notice or a fine.
Whatever time of year it is - if you visit the beach with your dog, please clean up after them.

These restrictions do not apply to guide dogs for the blind. |

Dogs on leads
We also have some restrictions about dogs being kept on leads. You need to keep your dog on a lead on:
- The entire promenade at Swansea Bay (from the River Tawe to the Knab Rock car park, Mumbles)
- The promenades at Langland Bay and Rotherslade
- The promenade at Caswell Bay
If you fail to keep your dog on a lead you could be issued with a fixed penalty notice.
