Dog-friendly details

Rye Bay House welcomes well-behaved dogs, and with the beach entrance just a 0.2-mile walk away, your four-legged friend will be in heaven. Three miles of wide, flat sand to sprint across, dunes to sniff and plenty of other dogs to make friends with — it really is one of the best dog-friendly beaches in the south-east.

Muddy-paw tip: towel your dog down in the enclosed garden before heading inside. The decked area makes it easy to shake off sand after a beach session.

Seasonal beach zones (May–September): during the summer months Camber Sands operates dog-friendly zones at either end of the beach, while the central section is dog-free. Outside of those months the entire beach is yours to roam. Full details are in our Camber Sands for Dogs guide.
