Are dogs allowed at Little Haven Beach year round?
Yes, dogs are welcome at Little Haven Beach throughout the year with no seasonal restrictions in place. It's a great option whatever the time of year, though the beach itself is very small and can disappear almost entirely at high tide, so it's worth checking tide times before you go.
What should I know before visiting Little Haven Beach with my dog?
Little Haven is a tiny hamlet with very limited parking, which can be especially tricky in summer — your best bet is to park in nearby Broad Haven and walk down. The beach itself is quite small and atmospheric rather than expansive, so it suits a leisurely short visit more than a long run. Facilities are minimal, but The Swan Inn is right beside the beach and welcomes dogs outside.
