Elmer Sands Beach, situated in West Sussex, offers a delightful experience for dog owners looking to spend a day at the coast with their furry friends. This beach is known for its relaxed atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for pets and owners to enjoy some time outdoors. At low tide, this is a dog walker paradise, as you can walk for miles to the east and Littlehampton or the west to Bognor Regis.

Features and activities:

The beach combines sand and pebbles, providing different textures and experiences for your dog to explore. Whether they like to dig in the sand or roam along a pebbly surface, there's something for every type of beach-loving dog.

The waters at Elmer Sands are generally calm and shallow, especially at low tide, creating safe conditions for dogs who enjoy paddling or swimming. Always watch your dog near the water, as conditions can change.

The beach offers beautiful coastal walks where you and your dog can enjoy the fresh sea air and scenic views. Our personal favourite walk is a morning one from Elmer, heading west towards Bognor along the beach and stopping off at the Lobster Pot in Felpham for a great brunch. If the tide is in, you have a top path you can follow, although the dog has less space to run around.

Access and facilities:

The problem with the beach at Elmer Sands is that a private estate backs it, so access is on foot with no easy options for parking. You should plan to bring water for both yourself and your dog, along with any snacks or other necessities. Although, you do have a dog-friendly pub and shop on the road behind the beach.

There are a few benches along the beach where you can rest and enjoy the view.

Conclusion:

Elmer Sands Beach is a fantastic choice for dog owners looking for a stress-free, enjoyable day out by the sea. Its pet-friendly policy all year round, combined with the natural beauty and peaceful environment, makes it an ideal destination for anyone wanting to share the joy of the beach with their canine companion. Whether it’s a leisurely coast walk, a fun splash in the sea, or just lounging on the sand, Elmer Sands provides a welcoming and enjoyable setting for both dogs and their owners.
