The beach is popular for swimming and has achieved Blue Flag status and you can even take water-loving pooches for a paddle here too. It's unusual along the Lincolnshire coast as dogs are allowed on part of the beach all year round without restrictions.
Situations such as rough waves or strong currents can make the water too dangerous for your dog. Be on the lookout for dangerous sea animals, like stingrays and jellyfish, that could be near the shore. Avoid hot sand. Especially midday, sand can get blisteringly hot and can burn your dog's paw pads.
