Ceredigion Beaches
Every beach managed by the Ceredigion County Council provides areas where you can enjoy the company of your pet dog. You must, however, exercise control over your pet and ensure it does not stray from the designated areas.
There are only two public beaches on Ceredigion's coastline where pet dogs are completely banned during certain times of year, those involve two beaches managed by the National Trust at Penbryn and Mwnt.
No prohibitions apply to guide dogs for the blind.
