Dog Friendly Beaches in Exmouth

Nestled around the corner from Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton Beach is a 2.5-mile pebble beach flanked by the Jurassic Coast’s unmistakable red sandstone cliffs. There are seasonal restrictions on the main beach, but dogs are welcome on the sands adjacent to the Lime Kiln car park and at Steamer Steps.

Why not also try a walk along the Exe Estuary Trail. Almost entirely traffic-free and flat-surfaced, wrapping around the river from Exmouth, through Topsham, Powderham, and finishing in Dawlish Warren. Ferries are available to take you across the water, and there are plenty of cafes and toilets dotted along the route.
