Dog-Friendly Beaches on the Jurassic Coast

Dog-Friendly Beaminster

And the good news? You won’t have to leave your dog behind when it’s time to eat. Many of Beaminster’s cafés, restaurants and pubs are dog-friendly, so your companion can join you for a coffee at Cilla & Camilla, a pub evening at The Red Lion or a leisurely lunch in town without anyone feeling left out.

After a day of adventures together, the cottage is a proper retreat. Settle in by the wood-burning stove, let your dog curl up beside you and let the evening take care of itself. There’s an outdoor tap for rinsing off muddy paws before you come back inside because West Dorset has a way of finding its way onto everyone.

One more thing worth knowing CJ Pets on the square is a wonderful independent pet shop, perfect for topping up on food, picking up a treat or replacing anything you forgot to pack. Because packing for dogs is an art form that nobody has quite mastered yet.
