Dog-friendly days out in Blackpool

Blackpool Promenade & Beach

Even if you've been to Blackpool before, the Promenade is always worth a stroll down. This famous seven-mile stretch offers plenty of space for your dog to stretch their legs while you take in the sea views and fresh air, but they must be kept on a leash. Many of the cafés and kiosks along the way have outdoor seating, so you can grab a coffee or snack without leaving your dog behind.

Likewise, Blackpool Beach is a must-visit with your dog. Best of all, certain areas are designated dog-friendly zones where your pet can run and play off-lead. You can check the latest restrictions on the Blackpool Council site, as well as keep an eye on local signage for any seasonal restrictions and always clean up after your dog to keep the beach pleasant for everyone.
