Any Council officer or Police Officer may require you to remove your dog from the beach.  Any offenders may be liable for a fine of up to £500.

We also have some restrictions about dogs being kept on leads. You need to keep your dog on a lead on many roads in Swansea and on:

• The entire promenade at Swansea Bay (from the River Tawe to the Knab Rock car park, Mumbles)

• The promenade at Caswell Bay
  

If you fail to keep your dog on a lead you could be fined up to £200.
