A South Pembrokeshire beach has been crowned the most dog-friendly in the county.

Amroth beach won the accolade at the recent Pembrokeshire Tourism Awards in conjunction with Burns Pet Nutrition.

The awards are designed to champion responsible pet ownership and recognise the efforts of outstanding local businesses throughout the county who help to make Pembrokeshire a dog-friendly destination.

Freshwater East and Broad Haven South were the other beaches nominated.

Although dog restrictions are in place along the central and western end of the half mile long stretch of sand between May 1 and September 30, the top and bottom end of the Blue Flag status beach is open all year-round for dogs to run around and explore.

It is a popular destination for pooches and their owners throughout the year especially at low tide where it’s possible to walk to Wiseman’s Bridge along the shore.

“This award is well deserved,” said cabinet member for the environment and Welsh language, Clr. Cris Tomos.

“There is good provision for owners to dispose of litter as well as water bowls for dogs to drink from after exerting themselves on the sand.”

“I’m delighted it has been crowned as the most dog friendly beach in these awards.”
