Dogs banned from sections of beach in Blyth, Newbiggin, Whitley Bay, Tynemouth, and Cullercoats this summer

Public Space Protection Orders are in place, issued by Northumberland County Council and North Tyneside Council, to bar pooches from some beaches in the area between May 1 and September 30.

Signs are up at the locations, and violating the orders can lead to a £100 fine.

In Northumberland, the order applies to the section of beach at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea from the breakwater at Church Point to the beach access from the promenade at Sidney Crescent.

It also applies to the stretch of beach in Blyth from the southern end of the Links Road car park to the access point at Beachway.

In North Tyneside, the order covers the whole of King Edward’s Bay in Tynemouth and Cullercoats Bay.

The stretch of the beach in Whitley Bay from Panama Gardens south is subject to the order, as is the southern section of Tynemouth Longsands.
