Mersea Island dog friendly beaches, Essex
Good for dogs, on the beach and also on public footpaths and lanes.

Rockham Bay is fabulously remote and just off the Tarka Trail footpath between Lee and Grunta Bay - so it's an ideal place to combine a long walk with a sarnie stop and swimming.
An alternative to motorway services, and somewhere useful to know about in case there's a serious delay on the motorway.
Heath land and woods great for free running.
This former haven of highwaymen and smugglers is now a popular destination for local dog walkers. It's a mix of woodland and heathland with an extensive system of bridleways and small paths.
Combination of woodland walk and hill-walk. Stunning views. Some higher sections steep in places. Well marked route.
This walk has a bit of everything
Amazing views from the top of the Warren on a clear day. Look out for Tennyson's memorial and Hurst Castle especially.
Dogs OK on the beach here all year round.
Long dog friendly beach for wonderful peaceful 2 mile walk between Holkham and Wells with miles of firm sand and tidal inlets for the less adventurous dogs.
Handy dog-friendly pub for dog walks in nearby White Horse country park, and longer treks across the Downs.
Lovely wooded area for a dog walk, plenty of tracks to follow, well laid out forestry commission area.
