This feature is dedicated to all our lovely canine friends, who love our beaches just as much as their humans do. Thanks so much to our readers for sharing these fantastic images of their pooches by the sea – keep them coming!
Reggie the cockapoo at Ruislip Lido, proving that you can still find a beach, even in the city. Dina and Andy Topping
Noodle at Afon Wen near Pwllheli, Gwynedd. He loves the beach, where he can enjoy zoomies, swimming and jumping, although he is not so happy with being hosed down afterwards. Sarah Lilly-Jones
Wilbur is a six-year-old airedale terrier. This photo was taken on a day trip to Camber Sands in East Sussex, when he was peering at our picnic.
He loves the beach but prefers relaxing in the shade to a paddle in the sea. If allowed, he would jump at the chance to have a nibble at your lunch. Sarah, Alice and Harriet
