Morecambe dog beach ban lifted

Dog owners can now take their pets on Morecambe’s beaches.

Dogs are excluded from Morecambe South and North beaches every year from May 1 until September 30 to comply with the Seaside Award, but are now allowed on the beaches until May 1, 2025.

The awards recognise beaches in England that achieve the highest standards of beach management. Restricting dogs during the summer months also helps to maintain the water quality of the two beaches during their busiest period.

Offenders caught breaching these restrictions will be issued with a fixed penalty notice of £100 to be paid within 14 days. This is reduced to £65 if paid within seven days. If a Penalty Notice is not paid, Lancaster City Council may prosecute the offender in the Magistrates Court. The maximum fine is currently £1,000.

You can report offenders by contacting the Animal Welfare Inspectors on 01524 582935.

Dogs need to be on leads while on the promenade and spaces such as the adjacent gardens and Sunny Slopes.
