Milford on Sea has again been recognised as having one of the UK's 20 Best Dog-Friendly Beaches for summer 2023 by iNews.
The dog-friendly picture-postcard beach is open to dogs all year round, with spectacular views to the Isle of Wight, The Needles Lighthouse and across Christchurch Bay to the Purbeck Hill in the distance.
In July 2021 Milford on Sea beach was also named the most dog-friendly in Hampshire by Vets Now. The Vets Now '50 best (and safest) beaches in the UK for dogs' guide provides a comprehensive review of pet-friendly beaches. The recommendations were chosen after taking into account: parking and access, water quality deemed high, dogs are welcome all year, and that a Vets Now pet emergency service is within driving distance.
Milford on Sea beach was also recognised for cleanliness and the facilities on offer.

The dog-friendly picture-postcard beach is open to dogs all year round, and there is also plenty of green spaces next to the beach to run your pet.
Situated on the Hampshire coast at the foot of the New Forest National Park, this pebble beach with a sandy waters edge is highly popular with dog lovers.
There are spectacular views across to The Needles, the Isle of Wight, and across Christchurch Bay. You can enjoy a great family walk of over four miles from the beach along Hurst Spit to Hurst Castle, or to Hordle Cliffs beach in the other direction.
The extensive beachfront promenade on Hurst Road features colourful beach huts, and a kids’ play area next to the beach. There are plenty of 'dog bins' to keep the beach clean, and responsible owners are always welcome.
You will also find lots of dog friendly places to eat, or get a drink, with a couple of seafront cafés with bars, an ice cream kiosk, a hotel, and it is only a shot walk to the village centre for the dog-friendly traditional pubs & cafe's, takeaways, bakers, fish & chips, quality restaurants, and quaint village shops.
