Broad Haven North

Broad Haven North is a good option for dog owners, earning a 7/10 dog-friendly rating. It's a large, wide sandy beach with plenty of space, and outside the summer restriction season the full beach is open to dogs. During the restricted period from 1 May to 30 September, designated dog-accessible sections are in place, so there's still somewhere to bring your dog even in peak season.

Dogs are welcome at Broad Haven North throughout the year, but a partial seasonal restriction applies from 1 May to 30 September under the Pembrokeshire PSPO. During these months, dogs are only permitted in designated sections of the beach — maps showing these areas are available at the beach itself. Outside this period, the entire beach is open to dogs with no restrictions.

It's worth checking the seasonal dog restriction dates before you visit — from 1 May to 30 September, dogs are limited to designated sections, so pick up a map at the beach to get your bearings. The car park can get busy in summer, so arriving early on warmer days is a good idea. On the plus side, the beach has a good range of facilities nearby including cafes, a pub, and shops, making it a comfortable day out for owners as well as dogs.
