Dog Rules for Camber Sands Beach (2025)

Summer (1 May–30 Sept): stick to the designated dog zones — they’re clearly marked at each entrance. Winter (1 Oct–30 Apr): enjoy the whole sweep of sand. Additionally, tides change the feel of the beach; at low tide you’ll find firm, wide sand that’s brilliant for zoomies.
