The GSPCA are reminding dog walkers to make the most of the sunshine today on the beaches as it is the last day you can take your canine friend on quite a few until the 1st October.
Dogs are not allowed on or off lead on the following beaches between 1st May – 30th Sept:
Fermain
Petit Bot
L’Eree
The Northern end of Vazon
Port Soif
Cobo
L’Ancresse / Pembroke
Dogs are also excluded from Shell Beach, Belvoir Bay, Fisherman’s Beach and the stretch of beach in front of the White House Hotel to the Herm Jetty.
All of the above beaches are clearly sign posted at key access points to inform members of the public when dogs are to be excluded from these areas. (The Control of Dogs Ordinance 1992)
Dog walkers are also asked to avoid Richmond and Vazon to help the wading birds that feed and rest along the stretch of coast.
Please also note that horses can't be ridden on the shore lines between 10am and 7pm.
Vehicles are also banned from the beaches during the day times unless you have permission. The coastal speed limit at Cobo and Vazon also drops to 25 miles per hour from the 1st May.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'It's a lovely day to take the dogs out for a walk along the coast but you need to make the most of it as from tomorrow there are many that you can't take your four legged friend.'
'Also if you like to ride your horse along the beach there are restrictions with the times and we would like to remind dog walkers if you can avoid the Richmond end of Vazon to help the wading birds it is very much appreciated.'
