Why don't you contact the local tourist information office, they will have details of which beaches (if any) are dog friendly etc.

thanks spudqueen.

i left a message on the whitby-online forum and out of 15 people reading it no-one answered, unfriendly bunch!  the same question on my towns forum would have generated 15 replies, a debate and then a fight!

cheers

From 'Dracula' - just to get you in the mood!

"A good deal of interest was abroad concerning the dog which landed when the ship struck, and more than a few of the members of the S.P.C.A., which is very strong in Whitby, have tried to befriend the animal. To the general disappointment, however, it was not to be found. It seems to have disappeared entirely from the town. It may be that it was frightened and made its way on to the moors, where it is still hiding in terror.

There are some who look with dread on such a possibility, lest later on it should in itself become a danger, for it is evidently a fierce brute. Early this morning a large dog, a half-bred mastiff belonging to a coal merchant close to Tate Hill Pier, was found dead in the roadway opposite its master's yard. It had been fighting, and manifestly had had a savage opponent, for its throat was torn away, and its belly was slit open as if with a savage claw."

I was thinking tha Dracula was probably the answer, too, Glossop!

sorry hobsonbear not an answer to your question but it got me thinking. No smoking coming soon, no dogs next (or is it already here)! I am not a dog owner but why can't you take a dog into a supermarket, restaurant etc as long as the staff do not object?
