Getting there and the practical bits

Both hut sizes have electrical sockets. Larger huts also have access to running water. Check opening hours and what to bring with the council before travelling.

Check the walking distance, steps and parking arrangements for your chosen hut. Facilities can have seasonal opening hours.

Facilities and beach guide

Bringing your dog

Dogs are not allowed on Whitmore Bay or Cold Knap beach from 1 May to 30 September. Jackson’s Bay and Porthkerry provide other coastal options where dogs are permitted. Check the signs and your route before setting out with a dog.

Permission to bring a dog into the hut is separate from access to the beach. Ask the hut provider before booking.

Plan a dog-friendly day

Weather, tides and water

Check the latest forecast and tide times shortly before you travel. A forecast available today may not cover your planned visit.

See current beach conditions

Follow local lifeguard advice and beach safety signs. Tide predictions do not tell you whether it is safe to swim.

A little more to your day

Leave time for a walk, a picnic or something nearby. Check opening hours, access and any separate booking requirements.
