Many places in Tenby welcome dogs. There are plenty of dog friendly places to stay as well as many local attractions which welcome dogs (usually on the lead). Some attractions advertise that dogs are welcome (dog friendly attractions) but there may be many more that welcome them - it is worth checking before you set out. For example, Oakwood Theme Park does not allow dogs but has kennel facilities available so you can still enjoy a visit.

Certain pubs will accept well behaved dogs - your best bet is to ask behind the bar if dogs are welcome before you settle down. It may depend on how busy the establishment is, what time of year it is, size of dog etc so best to check.

The is also a list of local Boarding Kennels listed in the Trade Directory.

The Pembrokeshire Coast Path covers an amazing 186 miles of coastal scenery. This is great with your dog at any time of the year. It is important when out in the countryside with your dog that you adhere to the Country Code, keeping dogs on the lead near other animals and making sure you shut gates behind you.

Some fields you pass through will have cattle in them and it is worth treating them with caution. They may appear intimidating but they are generally just interested in people who are walking by! However, the Ramblers Association has issued the following advice to assist walkers who encounter cattle:

• Move quietly and carefully and walk around the cattle. Be sure not to unintentionally "herd" cattle into a confined space where their only way out is back past you.
• Never pass between a cow and its calf.
• Leave all gates as you found them.
• Be prepared for cattle to react to you, especially if you have a dog with you.
• Always keep your dog close and on the lead.

Tenby and the surrounding area is a fantastic place to holiday with your dog. Although certain popular bathing beaches have restrictions through the summer there is still plenty of opportunity to bring your dog and enjoy the miles and miles of beautiful beaches.

In summary, all 50 of Pembrokeshire's beaches welcome dogs. However, in Tenby town from the 1st May through to 30th September dogs are not allowed on the North beach or the Harbour beach at all, the Castle Beach allows dogs (on the lead) on a very small part of the beach (in order that people with dogs can access the boat trips) so your best option is to head for the South Beach (3km of beautiful golden sand) where dogs are allowed further along the beach. Other beaches within Pembrokeshire with these restrictions are Poppit, Newgale, Lydstep, Dale, Broadhaven, Saundersfoot and Amroth. Whitesands does not allow dogs within the above dates.

There are notice boards on all of the dog restricted beaches with full details of the restrictions so please check before you plan your trip. Here is a link to each beach with a map of the actual restricted areas - this website offers a guide only.
