A Conwy beach with "miles of golden sand" has been named among the best dog-friendly beaches in the UK.

As the weather begins to improve and days become longer, more and more dog owners are heading back to the beach to give their four-legged friends a good run around.

But knowing which beaches allow dogs can be tricky and this can sometimes result in puppy parents steering clear of coastal walks.

With this in mind, marketing manager at Away Resorts (one of the UK's most popular staycation providers) Laura Miller has come up with a list of the best dog-friendly beaches in the UK.
