Weybourne Beach

Weybourne Beach is a wild, dog friendly shingle beach on the North Norfolk coast within the North Norfolk Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, known for its steep drop-off which made it strategically significant during both World Wars as one of the few places on this coast where the sea is deep enough for large vessels to land close to shore. The beach is backed by low cliffs, reeds and the Weybourne Hope shingle ridge, and the surrounding landscape of Weybourne Heath and the nearby village of Weybourne give it a quiet, uncrowded character. The beach is part of the North Norfolk Heritage Coast and connects to Sheringham to the east and Salthouse and Cley to the west via the Norfolk Coast Path.

Dogs are welcome at Weybourne Beach year-round with no seasonal restrictions. It appears in the list of beaches not subject to North Norfolk PSPO bans, and the beach's remote feel and naturally lower visitor numbers make it a consistently good dog friendly destination. The steeply shelving shingle beach makes swimming more challenging for dogs than a sandy beach, but the open space and connecting Coast Path walking are excellent. A small car park is accessible off Beach Lane. The village of Weybourne has a pub (The Ship) within easy walking distance.
