Dog-friendly beaches in the Channel Islands
The dog rules for 75 beaches on Jersey, Guernsey, Herm and Alderney, beach by beach. 24 allow dogs all year. Jersey never closes a beach to dogs, but asks for leads from 10:30am to 6pm in summer. Guernsey, Herm and Alderney close named beaches to dogs in summer: on Guernsey and Herm from 1 May to 30 September, on Alderney from 1 June to 15 September.
Each island makes its own rules, so these come from the island's government, not a council. Jersey is planning a shorter summer season for 2027. Check signs on the day.
