Dog owners warned of Guernsey beach fine

The ban is now in place until the end of September

Dog walkers in Guernsey have been warned they face up to a £1,000 fine if they flout the summer dog bans on some of the island's beaches.

The Environment Department said it had received three complaints that dogs were being walked at Vazon's main beach and at L'Eree.

The ban is now in place until the end of September and sees dogs banned from many of the island's popular beaches.

The ban is active at all times of the day, the department said.

The summer ban is in action at Fermain, Petit Bot, L'Eree main beach, Vazon main beach, Cobo main beach, Port Soif and L'Ancresse and Pembroke beaches.

The department said there were signs with maps showing the boundary of the dog ban area in place near the entrance points of all the beaches, where dogs are prohibited during the summer months.
