10 best dog-friendly beaches

For cliff walks

 
Abereiddy Bay, Abereiddy, Pembrokeshire

Canine appreciation of the sunsets enjoyed from this west-facing beach may be limited, but any dog worth his sea salt will love the cliff walks from Abereiddy to Porthgain. The dark sand on the slipway beach is made from pounded grey slate that also colours the waters of the small harbour just to the north a brilliant blue.
