  • Can I take my dog on the beach?

    There is a dog control Public Space Protection Order in place across the borough.

    There are two dog exclusion areas on the beach over the summer. Dogs will not be allowed on these areas of the beach between 1 April to 30 September.

    These areas are:

    • from the west of the Harbour Arm to the east side of Hastings Pier and
    • from the west end of Bottle Alley to opposite the Royal Victoria Hotel.

    Dogs are allowed on the beach either on or off-lead at any time on the beach from the border with Rother in the east to the east of the Harbour Arm; from the west of Hastings Pier to the west end of Bottle Alley and from opposite the Royal Victoria Hotel until the border with Rother where their restrictions take over.

    For the winter period (1 October to 31 March), dogs are allowed on all parts of the beach either on or off-lead.

    You can also read the full dog control Public Space Protection Order.
