This is a wonderful location for dogs and their owners. The beach is dog friendly. A mixture of shingles and sand and the walk into Mudeford is simply beautiful.

Hengistbury Head is an amazing place for a relaxing walk overlooking the Isle of Wight and Mudeford. Surronded by wild beaches, it can get crowded over the weekends but it is still very nice place for a long walk.
