Dunster Beach & Woods

About this park

Dunster Beach and its surrounding woods offer a wonderful escape for you and your furry friend, nestled in the picturesque Exmoor National Park. Imagine strolls along the shingle and sand alongside the sea, with stunning views across the Bristol Channel. The beach provides a lovely open space for dogs to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh sea air. Beyond the beach, you can explore the charming woods that back onto the coastline. These wooded areas provide shade on sunnier days and a different sensory experience for your dog, with plenty of interesting sniffs amongst the trees. While much of the area is quite open, do keep an eye out for any wildlife that might be present in the more natural parts of the woods. Local dog rules typically apply, meaning dogs are usually welcome off-lead where appropriate and under close control, especially near livestock or nesting birds, if applicable. Always scoop the poop to keep this beautiful area clean for everyone. Parking is generally available, though it's good practice to check specific car park details if you're visiting during peak season. You might also find some basic facilities like public toilets or refreshment stands nearby, particularly closer to the main beach access points.
