Camber Sands, East Sussex · Up to 2 dogs welcome · Beach just minutes away · ~90 mins from London · Family-run since 2009
There’s nothing quite like a seaside holiday with your dog.
Wind in their ears.
Miles of sand to explore.
That happy, exhausted flop on the sofa after a long beach walk.
At Camber Sands, dogs are very much part of the adventure.
And at Beside The Sea Holidays, they’re genuinely welcome.
Properly Dog-Friendly Cottages
We know what travelling with dogs is really like. The towels, the tennis balls, the slightly anxious “are dogs actually allowed?” moment when you arrive.
So our cottages are set up to make it easy:
- 🌿 Enclosed gardens in many properties
- 🏖️ Beach walks just minutes away
- 🛋️ Plenty of space for post-walk naps
- 🍽️ Dog-friendly pubs and cafés nearby
- 🐕 Up to two dogs welcome in many cottages
And yes — sandy noses and muddy paws are expected.
Camber Sands: One of the Best Dog Beaches in the UK
One of the things our guests love most is how dog-friendly the beach is. Three miles of wide, golden sand, backed by rolling dunes — it’s a dog’s idea of paradise.
At Camber Sands, dogs can enjoy:
- 🏖️ Huge open stretches of sand
- 🌾 Dunes and coastal walks right from the door
- 🐾 Miles of space to run, sniff and explore
Outside the summer restriction zone, there’s endless room for beach adventures. It’s the kind of place where dogs fall asleep the moment you get back to the cottage.
