Dog walking In the frame. Good Friday pebble dash on the beach at Westward Ho!

The weather had cleared at last and what bettter way to spend a Good Friday than on the beach at Westward Ho! It was Easter Bank Holiday and we didn't really think we'd find a place to park near the slipway but we were lucky. Fantastic weather, billowing clouds amid blue skies and gleaming sands, a perfect dose of vitamin sea, the walk topped off by our first Hockings of the year. I was photographing the sky above the Pebble Ridge when the little dog walked into the frame, there were lots of dog walkers about enjoying the beach before the Summer season restrictions.

"From the 1st of May to the 30th of September Torridge District Council will once again be introducing a restriction for Dogs on sections of Westward Ho! beach and the promenade.

The restriction helps create different usage areas on the beach to ensure that different groups engaged in different activities can all safely access and enjoy this popular resort. It also helps the authority to meet the criteria for the annually assessed Blue Flag Award, which is highly prized and important to bathers and the local tourist industry."
