Beach Restrictions: Pay close attention to the signage regarding dog-friendly zones on Wells Beach, especially between April and September.
Tides: Be aware of tide times, as the beach changes dramatically. It's safest to walk on a falling tide.
Pinewoods: While generally safe, keep your dog in sight as it's easy for them to get engrossed in sniffing! Be mindful of wildlife.
Water: The sea provides ample opportunity for a doggy paddle, but always bring fresh water for your dog to drink, especially on warmer days.
Dog Bins: Bins are typically available at the beach car park and around the harbour area. Please always pick up after your dog.
Refreshments: Wells town has numerous dog-friendly cafes, pubs, and shops. The Beach Cafe near the main car park is also often welcoming to dogs.
