Dogs can be taken onto all beaches in Gwynedd throughout the year, however between the 1st of May and 30th September sections of the following beaches have dog exclusion areas:

• Abersoch • Aberdaron • Aberdyfi • Abermaw / Barmouth • Criccieth • Dinas Dinlle • Fairbourne • Harlech • Llandanwg • Morfa Bychan (Black Rock Sands) • Pwllheli • Porthor (Whistling Sands) • Tywyn

Dogs are allowed on the beach either side of these restriction areas, which are clearly sign posted - maps illustrating these areas are also present in notice boards located at the beach entrances. Dogs must also be kept on a lead at all times on the promenades, and owners are expected to clean up any mess after their dog, or risk a maximum fine of £1000 [Dogs (fouling of land) Act 1996]. Dog fouling bags are available from the Council's Beach Supervisors, which are on duty on most of the above beaches between the middle of June and the first week in September.
