But what other Norfolk beaches do local pooches love?

Here are seven options for your next walkies.

1. Blakeney Point

A Site of Special Scientific Interest for the array of species that call the four-mile stretch home.

As well as the range of birds and creatures on display, your four-legged friend will love the range of textures beneath its feet.

From sand dunes to areas of stony shingles, there are plenty of surfaces to explore.

Blakeney Point only permits dogs between late August and March to protect nesting birds in the spring and summer.

With seal pupping season beginning in late October, please ensure your dog is on a lead if you’re visiting in the coming months.

2. Winterton-on-Sea

Well-known for its wide stretches of sand and rolling dunes, Winterton is incredibly dog-friendly and welcomes them all year round. 

Winterton Dunes National Nature Reserve is both a Site of Specific Scientific Interest and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so you'll bump into plenty of wildlife on your stroll.

In the winter months, you might even catch some seals right up on the shore.

3. Old Hunstanton

This beach is extremely dog-friendly and has no restrictions at all.

It lies on the Norfolk Coast Path and can be walked either along the beach or dunes.

Canines love exploring the miles of rolling sands and can do so freely in the quieter colder months.

4. Brancaster

Between September and April, dogs are welcome along the entire beach but due to nesting species it is advised that they stay on a lead.

Brancaster boasts a wide stretch of undisturbed sand and has been listed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

At low tide, the water is shallow so it will be perfect for your pooch to paddle in.

Low tides also make the shipwreck of the SS Vina visible as it pokes out from the sand.

5. Caister Point

Just a short hop along the coast from Great Yarmouth, Caister is a very dog-friendly beach with no restrictions.

With its wide sands and pebbles falling from the dunes, there are plenty of fun textures for your pup's feet.

While you walk, look out to sea and notice the Scroby Sands Wind Farm 2.5 km offshore.

6. Happisburgh 

Dogs are welcome all year round at this stretch of coast renowned for its erosion and crumbling cliffs, where large rocks have been placed along the shore to prevent further damage.

Although dogs and owners should both take care walking close to the edge, the rocks and pebbles contrast with the sand to provide a range of textures pets will love.

Don't forget to take a peek at the fully functioning lighthouse while you're in the area.

7. Weybourne

Just along the coast from Sheringham, this village on the Norfolk Coast Path has no restrictions on dogs. 

Pups love feeling the many pebbles under their paws and, because it is a quieter beach, they will be free to explore.

The cliffs provide a different view and contrasting terrain, so there is plenty in the area to enjoy.
