About This Place

Widely regarded as the finest beach in the Stranraer area, Luce Sands is an expansive stretch of sheltered sand. At low tide the beach here extends around three miles from the village of Sandhead, home to the Sands of Luce holiday park. --> The bay here is also rich in marine wildlife and is designated a Special Area for Conservation (SAC) for its dune, seashore and seabed habitats.

💡 Our Take

Luce Sands in County Durham stands out as a perfect haven for dog owners. The expansive sandy beach is dog-friendly year-round, providing an excellent playground for dogs to frolic freely. The soft sand is particularly gentle on sensitive paws, which makes it ideal for puppies or anxious dogs who need a gentle introduction to the beach. While there are no direct facilities on the beach, nearby parking is conveniently close. Do keep an eye on your pet in the water as there are no lifeguards on duty. We wholeheartedly recommend this spot for a joyous day of adventure with your furry friend!
