The council publishes no map of these orders, so the shaded areas are drawn by us from the landmarks the order names.

From 1 May to 30 September (153 days) dogs are banned from North Beach and South Beach, all day.

For the other 212 days of the year no ban holds on those stretches.

• Along the coast, Hornsea: No ban today; the summer ban starts again on 1 May 2027.

Dog control Public Spaces Protection Orders, made by East Riding of Yorkshire Council. In force from 1 September 2026; its end date is not published. We read it on 1 October 2026.

Breaking it can mean a fixed penalty of £75, says the council's dog control page. The council's leaflet says the orders do not apply to a person who is registered blind, or who relies on an assistance dog trained by a prescribed charity.
