AIBU dogs on beaches

Our local beaches are closed to dogs during the summer months, and I am surprised that BBQs are allowed. Rarely go on the beaches as the parking charges are colossal.

I agree that dog poo is disgusting wherever. It doesn't take a lot to bag it up quickly.
On our beaches there are designated dog areas in the summer.

I live near a very large beach. Massive.

Dogs are fine on the beach provided their poops are dealt with quickly and efficiently

I don't walk mine there very often due to the vile stench of BBQs, loud music and screaming children.

But I'm just a grumpy old woman

Dogs on a no dogs beach this year. One of them made a huge deposit near us and I went looking for the owner. Each member of the group said it wasn't them but eventually one cleared it up. I explained that dogs were not allowed on that beach but they didn't go and neither did the 2 dogs. There was no one supervising the beach so no one to complain to.

Dogs are not allowed on our local beaches during the summer months, but are allowed in winter.

I think a curfew on popular 'leisure' beaches (ie beaches where people take children and generally enjoy the seaside) in the summer months is perfectly acceptable. But I don't think they should be banned from all beaches.

Up here in the frozen NE we have miles and miles of lovely beaches in Durham and Northumberland which are never covered with people just there for a day on the beach, but very popular with walkers (with or without dogs). It would be sad to close them all off to dogs.

Agree - no dogs on beaches.

Dogs have no place on beaches, plenty of other space for them to run around and do what dogs do.

Did you mean 10 AM?
No, not at all unreasonable. I think the 10 - 9 curfew is a really good idea.
I like dogs but irresponsible owners leaving poo around beaches (or anywhere) make them unacceptable. You wouldn't believe how many people still hang full doggy bags on hedges around here either.
Disgusting.
