Yes, Sandwich Bay in Kent is a very dog-friendly beach, allowing dogs all year round without any seasonal restrictions. It is a long stretch of sand and shingle, which is perfect for long walks. Dogs are excluded however from the mudflats/salt marshes, and they must be kept on a lead on the Princes Bay Golf Course Dunes Path. It's worth looking up the tide times too as dogs can run for miles when the tide is out.
