About This Place

Just north of Weston-Super-Mare is the peninsula of Sand Point - a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a world away from the donkey rides and pier. To the south is Sand Bay whilst on the northern side is the little sand and shingle cove of Middle Hope. --> The beach here is backed by farm land and faces into the Bristol Channel with views across to Wales. Murky water and the muddy low tide sand will probably be enough to put most off the idea of swimming. If not the strong tidal currents should do.

💡 Our Take

Looking for a simple dog-friendly escape? The beach at Middle Hope in North Somerset could be just the ticket. This unspoiled sandy stretch welcomes dogs year-round, making it perfect for off-season zoomies. Parking is available but facilities are sparse so pack water. The sea is generally calm, but always supervise your dog, especially keen swimmers. Be aware of the tides! Middle Hope's relatively quiet nature makes it especially good for anxious dogs or puppies needing gentle beach introductions, though big dogs will love the space too. We found it a simple, calming escape.
