Dog Access and Rules
Fisherrow Sands welcomes dogs year-round, making it ideal for a day out in any season. Dogs are allowed off-lead on the beach, giving them the freedom to run, explore, and play by the shore.
Things To See & Do
Fisherrow East Beach stretches from Fisherrow Harbour to the mouth of the River Esk. This sandy beach provides ample space for dogs to run and play. It’s a popular spot for walkers and offers scenic views over the Firth of Forth.
Fisherrow West Beach is situated on the opposite side of the harbour. This smaller, sandy beach is also dog-friendly. It’s a quieter option for those seeking a more peaceful outing.
