Dogs are welcome on the beach here, with one marked section that's 'on-lead' only. The rest is open for doggy fun time. The castle is worth an explore too - well ruined, but atmospheric.
Dogs welcome on this beach all year round. There are a couple of fish and chip shops right by the car park (neither open all day).
Shingle and rock beach, with a steep climb down the cliffs to get there. Dogs are allowed all year round. There's access to a coastal path too.
A secluded cove, and dogs are allowed on the beach all year round.
Long, long sandy beach with miles of dog walks.
This beach is busy with dogs in the winter as they are allowed on all parts of it - in the summer they are restricted to the far end but that's fine too.
A smugglers' hideaway, and dogs are allowed all year round.
Another simply enormous beach with long walks in either direction. This one is best at low tide when dogs can run by the water line, and well away from the nesting plovers higher up.
Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round. It's a large sandy beach with the famous strawberry and vanilla coloured cliffs.
Big sandy beach and dogs allowed on the side away from the harbour.
Bit of an exciting break off the A39, and great if you need some space. It's quite a fairly remote sand and shingle beach with no dog restrictions all year.
This small settlement between Queensferry and Grangemouth has a lot going on. Three different dog-walks, the chance to visit a famous castle, and a dog-friendly pub.
