Exmouth Beach

The rules we hold

• Dogs are not allowed (the beach between the Octagon Café and the second groyne before Orcombe Point) from 1 May to 30 September between 10am and 6pm.
• Dogs must be on a lead (Beach Gardens, and the esplanade from Mamhead Slipway to the cliffs at Orcombe Point).

Clock times are in East Devon’s 2026 seashores and promenades order. The council’s HTML dog page names Exmouth as a seasonal beach but does not repeat the hours. Confirm the order is the one in force if the two pages ever disagree.
