These are the Yorkshire beaches you can't take your dog to this summer
May 1 is the first day that the Dog Exclusion Order 2009 applies to beaches and children's play areas for the summer season.
Most large beaches that attract crowds of visitors exclude dogs from the majority of sanded areas. Some smaller bays have fewer restrictions.
