The exclusion will run until Wednesday, September 30 and was brought in to help families and visitors enjoy the seaside without being bothered by nuisance dogs or fouling.

The four beach areas are:

Bridlington north beach – from the north pier to a line extending east from Limekiln Lane.

○ Bridlington south beach – from the south pier to a line extending east from Kingston Road.

○ Hornsea beach – from Headland View to a line extending east from Sands Lane.

○ Withernsea beach – from the steps to the north of the slipway at Seaside Road to the steps near Memorial Gardens.

The areas of the promenades in Bridlington, Hornsea and Withernsea adjacent to the beach exclusion zones carry a restriction requiring owners to keep their dogs on leads in those areas.

Outside the restricted areas dogs are still welcome – all the council asks is that dog walkers clean up after their animals and are considerate of other beach users.

An East Riding of Yorkshire Council spokesperson said: “The exclusion on dogs using certain areas of the beach lasts just for the summer season.

“The vast majority of owners know the importance of not taking their dogs on the beach in the summer months when children and families are playing in the sand but there are plenty of other areas on the beaches where dogs are still welcome.”
