It’s one of the most joyful sights you can experience, even getting caught in the crossfire of their shake-off after isn’t bad. Devon is well known for having some of the most picturesque beaches in the world, let alone the UK! 

Every beach has its own regulations when it comes to dogs (some allow total freedom, while others request they stay on leads), but rest assured that in some way, dogs are allowed on basically every beach in Devon. Any restrictions will be clearly outlined, just keep an eye out and enjoy!
