About This Place

West Bay is a popular sandy beach in the seaside resort of Westgate-on-Sea on the north-east coast of Kent. --> Chalk cliffs separate West Bay from the neighbouring St Mildred’s Bay, and both beaches have seawalls and groynes to prevent flooding. There is plenty to do here for all the family along with some good rock pools worth exploring. Toilets, chalets for hire and good disabled access as well as a cafe that stays open for evening meals, providing an excellent place to watch the sunset.

💡 Our Take

Nestled in the picturesque Dorset coastline, West Bay boasts a sprawling stretch of sandy beach where dogs are welcome year-round, making it a perfect haven for our four-legged friends. The gentle sand is ideal for puppies and anxious dogs, while the open space allows bigger breeds to roam freely. Convenient parking is just a short walk away, with nearby cafes and restrooms ensuring a hassle-free visit. Swimming is generally safe, but always keep an eye on tides and weather conditions. Our tip: bring a picnic and enjoy a day exploring both the scenic cliffs and serene beachfront with your pooch!
