Dogs banned from Yorkshire beaches: why you'll be fined £75 for taking dog to the beach

As spring marks the beginning of dog bans on popular Yorkshire tourist beaches, May 1 is the first day that the Dog Exclusion Order 2009 applies to beaches and children's play areas for the summer season.

Most large beaches that attract crowds of visitors exclude dogs from the majority of sanded areas.

Some smaller bays have fewer restrictions.

The bans last until September 30 and is is an offence to flout it.
