It is linked to the mainland town of Barrow-in-Furness by the toll-free Jubilee bridge. --> Biggar Bank beach is located on the more exposed west coast of Walney Island The beach here has a more remote feeling than those further north.

💡 Our Take

DogParkUK recommends Biggar Bank Beach on Walney Island, Cumbria! This sandy expanse offers dogs year-round freedom to roam and play, making it paw-fect for energetic pups. Although facilities are limited nearby, there's generally parking available. Remember to bring your own water! While the open beach is tempting, always be mindful of tides and currents for swim safety. Biggar Bank is fantastic for dogs needing space – think sighthounds who love to run or larger breeds who thrive off-leash. Consider bringing a long lead for nervous dogs until they adjust to the open environment. Enjoy!
