Ban on dogs on Morecambe beaches lifted

Owners are now once again allowed to exercise their dogs on Morecambe beaches.

Between October 1 and May 1, 2026, dogs are allowed on Morecambe South and North beaches, after being excluded during the summer months to comply with the Seaside Awards.

Restricting dogs during the summer months helps to maintain the water quality of the two beaches during their busiest period.

Offenders can be issued with a fixed penalty notice of £100 to be paid within 14 days.

This is reduced to £65 if paid within seven days. If a Penalty Notice is not paid, Lancaster City Council may prosecute the offender in the Magistrates Court.

You can report offenders by contacting the Animal Welfare Inspectors on 01524 582935.

Dogs need to be on leads while on the promenade and spaces such as the adjacent gardens and Sunny Slopes.
