| Summer | Dogs allowed all year. |

| Winter | Dogs allowed. |
| Also | We found no council dog rule for this beach. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code applies: keep dogs under proper control, and on a short lead or close at heel near other people and on the shore in the bird nesting season (usually April to July). Check signs on the day. NatureScot, which runs the Tentsmuir nature reserve next to the beach, asks you not to let dogs roam off the lead, because seals and birds are easily disturbed. |
