Dog Friendly?

Dogs are allowed at Hengistbury Head, but need to be well-behaved and respectful of the wildlife and animals in the nature reserve.

As well as the land train and the cosy Hiker Cafe, Hengistbury Head Beach also has toilets both ends of the site (including some for people with disablities), and a delightful Visitor Centre with twelve millennia of information on the history, flora, and fauna of the archealogically significant coastline.
