Southwold is renowned for its welcoming attitude towards pets, with numerous restaurants, cafes, and shops extending a warm embrace to your beloved companion. While peak season (April to September) imposes seasonal restrictions on Southwold’s main beach, you’ll find the dog-friendly Denes beach just beyond Gun Hill. Here, your furry friend can frolic in the sand and take a refreshing dip, making it the ultimate year-round dog-friendly destination.
