SUN, SEA…..and REX
With the grey clouds at last starting to give
way to bouts of brilliant sunshine, now's
the time to rejuvenate your senses and
exercise your dog at the same time by
heading for our sparkling coastline. But
where can you and Rex, your
poo-producing, sandwich-stealing pooch
actually go without upsetting everyone
else around you? Read on, Sophie's Pet
Care have got it all sorted...
free bits of hot sausage. Now it's changed
hands, and become a no-dog zone inside.
However, there's a wide selection of
public seating with rejuvenating sea views
outside, and you can grab a snack and a
drink from the beachfront shop. There are
also public conveniences available.
Gundimore Beach at Mudeford is ideal.
Unlike it's neighbour Avon Beach — where
from May they'll fine you and your fourlegged
friend for setting foot on it —
little-known Gundimore, right next door
remains "dog friendly" all the year round.
You can leave your vehicle in the sunken
car park just behind the beach, or admire
the view from the public car park adjacent
to the Noisy Lobster Cafe. It's situated
right on the seafront overlooking the Isle
of Wight.
Gundimore Beach begins just to the right
of this car park and continues in a westerly
direction up toward Mudeford Quay.
There's usually a few dogs on the beach
cavorting around and plunging manfully
into the freezing waves. No one bothers
them or you as long as you pick up your
poo (well, not your poo exactly.... umm,
you know what we mean).
The Noisy Lobster Cafe used to be
dog-friendly, didn't mind sandy floors and
wet dogs and would often dish them out
We can supply a walk route sheet if you
fancy a wander around Gundimore in case
you're stuck for inspiration.
If you'd like a printable PDF of this walk
route that you can take with you, simply
email walkies@sophiespetcare.com and
we'll send you one completely free of
charge, and tell you about the services we
can offer to you and your dog.
See you next month from some more
canine capers and hot news from the
dogosphere!
