Discover Dog-Friendly February Half Term Holidays

Explore the beauty of Westward Ho! beach in February half term


Westward Ho! is a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Famous for its expansive sandy beach, this picturesque village boasts stunning coastal views, invigorating sea air, and a wealth of activities for all ages. Spend your days exploring the South West Coast Path, where you and your furry friend can enjoy breathtaking walks along dramatic cliffs and unspoiled countryside. The village itself offers a range of dog-friendly pubs and cafes, ensuring everyone in the family feels welcome.


For dog lovers, February is an excellent time to visit as the local beaches are open for dogs. Westward Ho! Beach, with its golden sands and rolling waves, is perfect for long strolls and energetic games of fetch. Just a short drive away, Instow Beach offers a more tranquil setting with its sheltered estuary views and soft sands, making it another ideal spot for you and your canine companion.


For those seeking a bit of adventure, Westward Ho! has plenty to offer. Try your hand at surfing, paddleboarding, or kite flying on the beach. Or, if you prefer a more leisurely pace, visit the nearby Northam Burrows Country Park, a unique coastal grassland perfect for long, scenic walks.
