Dogs on beaches

From "Thanet Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan"

Go to the project

We support openly the cleanliness and safety on our beaches. We actively support walking dogs on our beaches for fitness of both dogs and people.

we actively use minnis bay through the winter, with the lovely cafe after a walk and the clean Sandy shore line, however we are banned all summer to humans that absolutely decimate the lovely sands with rubbish and glass.

i am a local rate payer, I feel it’s unfair to ban dogs from beaches who love to play in the sea and sun, we have been to northern france and both dogs and humans are feee to roam below the tide line of the beaches in perfect harmony.

blue beach is just an excuse for banning dogs as long as people pick up there dogs Pooh.

Not everyone cleans up after their dog or has control over them . I have been bitten twice in the past 5 years .

@Karen Ingall We’ve had dogs for over 13 years yes I’ve been bitten too, but a walk out on minnis bay in the winter proves a point most are off lead, all play together! There are more human related 999s on thanet beaches than dog related. All dog owners at minnis seam to pick up even below the tide line. Pity the humans dont pick up there glass and rubbish. You build so many houses in thanet, nature and dogs are going to meet. You say people don’t pick up dog Pooh but we dump millions of tonnes of sewage in the sea and do nothing?
