Best Dog Friendly Beaches East Devon – Everyone loves a day out with an activity or destination in mind, and those days are better with a family of “man’s best friends” dogs! We know it’s always easier to plan a date when ‘Rex’ ‘Rover’ and ‘Bella’ can join in the fun.
Here’s a list of the best things to do in East Devon’s Ax Valley with your four-legged friend for a dog-friendly day out:
Best Dog Friendly Beaches East Devon
Take your dog to one of our locations along the beautiful Ax Valley. Let the wind blow in their fur as they look out over the abundant wildlife along the Axit River and Seaton Marshes, dreaming of chasing the village.
The Sea Dog Retreat
Dogs can travel on all our cheap trains if they are accompanied by a person. Seton and Colton stations also have bowls for dogs to cool off after a day of riding. Good dogs can also be accommodated when you visit Seaton Station, just ask one of the staff and they’ll be sure to share!
Dogs can be ordered online with a daycare ticket or upon arrival at one of our locations.
Do you and your pup love to travel? After your visit, try one of the dog-friendly hikes in the area.
The South West Coastal Path connects with Seaton Promenade and leads west through Burra and Sidmouth or east to Limerick and beyond. With 630 miles to explore, a walk in Seton can be a great start or end to your day.
Hotel In Sidmouth
Do you want to interrupt your trip? Get off at Colyford station, cross the road at the White Hart pub and follow the River Coly to Colyton station. This hike is great, especially in the sun because it’s not under the trees. You will also see to and from Colliton. Before you head south again, why not enjoy a drink or a meal in our cafe.
Part of this walk also connects to the East Devon Way which, as the South West Coast Path, connects Exmouth with Lyme Regis on the journey inland. East Devon Road crosses part of our railway line – just make sure you look both ways before crossing!
If you have your own car, you can also visit the Morgan Hayes Forest Trail, a forest trail of approximately 3km, 5 minutes from Seaton and Coliton on the A3052.
Who doesn’t like going to the beach!? Seaton is a pebbly beach and has a year-round dog-friendly section on the far west side of the beach after the cruise and to the east of the Ax Yacht Club. Dogs are allowed on the entire beach from October 1st to April 30th. Just remember to pick up your dogs and dispose of them in the designated bins!
