Dog Friendly Beaches??

Hi all
I'm looking at taking Blue out later tonight to a beach but not sure what options I have
Anyone know about these beaches and if dogs are allowed off lead?

Southport Beach - Read it's ok for off lead dogs - but 1 hour away
Ainsdale Beach - Read it is also ok - but about 75 mins away
Blackpool Beach - Can't find info - 40 mins away
St Annes Beach - Says no dogs May - Sept, but not going till about 8pm so not sure if that restriction still applies - 40 mins away

mablethorpe beach is the nicest dog friendly beach i've been to, they can go off lead on all of it apart from the bit straight in front of the shops, where dogs aren't allowed

never been to any of the ones you said though

bit far from you though

heres the info on blackpool beach

was just going to mention that , but why waste a post stating the obvious

 

Nice one, so I can go south of the south pier
If I end up going I'll take some pics

Ainsdale beach allow dogs off lead we've taken Darcy there a few times not sure about they others mike.

Went to go Blackpool massive delays on the motorway so turned round and went our usual park. So he still managed to have a swim and a run through the woods. Probably go tomorrow night now

Aww make sure you take lots of pics mike

Just noticed Mrs Blue's face book status

'Let's take the dog to the beach' he says. 'I've just got to nip out' he says. 'You get some towels, poo bags, his ball and lead ready' he says.... Dog has been crying like a bitch since I got the stuff ready... Cheers for that!

Poor Blue , make sure he gets an ice cream tomorrow as additional compensation

Will do Dave. Good thinking.
