Extra Information / Beach Sheet Download:

Sandringham Beach has quite a few restrictions during the summer but is a great beach to visit with your dog

Remember to wash or rinse off your dog after a visit to the beach as they have been swimming in salt water and rolling in the sand which may cause skin irritations.

Remember to take plenty of fresh water for your dogs as they will swallow a lot of sea water while swimming and can become dehydrated from the increased intake of salt.
