About This Place

Located just away from Eastbourne’s main stretch is Royal Parade beach. This shingle beach is popular with both residents and visitors alike although usually somewhat quieter than the main Pier beach. --> There are plenty of facilities here, including a wide promenade behind the beach which is popular with skaters, cyclists and runners. Royal Parade is also a good spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, not to mention sailing with the local club right on the beach. There is good access to the stretch of beach here along with plenty of parking. Toilets and refreshments are also only a short distance away. Although Royal Parade is generally a very family-friendly beach please note that it not life-guarded.

💡 Our Take

Royal Parade Beach in Eastbourne, East Sussex, is a year-round haven for dogs and their owners. This shingle beach is perfect for energetic dogs that love exploring open spaces, with no restrictions to worry about. Its ample parking and proximity to a watersports centre make it convenient for a full day out. Though the beach lacks soft sand, the surrounding areas are great for a frolic or a run. Larger dogs and active breeds will delight in the play opportunities. A practical tip: always check tide times, as wet shingle can be slippery. DogParkUK wholeheartedly recommends this spot for adventurous pups!
