Cefn Sidan

Cefn Sidan earns a solid 8/10 for dog friendliness, and it's easy to see why — eight miles of unbroken sandy beach gives you plenty of room to let dogs stretch their legs off-lead. Dogs are welcome throughout Pembrey Country Park too, though leads are required in certain areas of the park itself.

Yes, Cefn Sidan has year-round dog access with no confirmed seasonal PSPO restrictions in place. This makes it a reliable choice whatever time of year you're planning a visit.

Dogs must be kept on leads in some areas of Pembrey Country Park, so it's worth being prepared for that as you make your way to and from the beach. The country park car park off the B4311 charges for parking, and the site has good facilities including a café and toilets. The beach faces south-west into the Atlantic swell, so conditions can be lively — worth bearing in mind if your dog is a keen paddler.
