About This Place

Sunny Sands Beach is a popular sandy beach located close to the centre of town and next to Folkestone Harbour. As such all the facilities are close by including cafés, pubs, shops and toilets. --> The fact that this is one of the closest sandy beaches to London means it can get quite busy in the summer. And the sand here is great for making sandcastles - it must be judging by the entries to the annual sandcastle building competition! There is a seasonal, independently run lifeguard service at Sunny Sands on Saturdays and Sundays, between the hours of 10am and 4pm from April until September.

💡 Our Take

Sunny Sands in Kent is a year-round haven for your furry friends! This sandy beach welcomes dogs anytime, making it ideal for spontaneous seaside adventures. While information on facilities is limited, its unrestricted access makes it a great choice for dogs who love to run free. Parking details are unconfirmed, so plan ahead. As for swimming, exercise caution as no specific safety information is available. This beach is likely best suited for confident dogs who enjoy open spaces, though it may be overwhelming for puppies or anxious dogs without careful supervision. Always keep your dog in sight!
