A Dog’s Guide to the Perfect Day at Waterside

Whether your humans take you to Bowleaze Cove, Chesil Beach, Osmington Mills Lodge Park or Tregoad Holiday Park, here’s an expert guide to enjoying every moment - tail wags guaranteed.

At Waterside, every day can start with a proper walk - and not just any walk. All our parks offer unbeatable access to incredible coast paths and beachy adventures.

• At Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa, you can trot straight out onto the South West Coast Path, sniff the salty air and take in views over Weymouth Bay.
• Over at Chesil Beach Holiday Park, the dramatic landscape of Portland and the famous Fleet Lagoon offers miles of new scents to explore.
• In Cornwall at Tregoad Holiday Park, woodland trails and stunning coastal scenery around Looe make walkies extra magical.
• Sitting right on the Jurassic Coast, Osmington offers beautiful coastal walking routes. Expect rugged cliffs, fresh sea breezes, and plenty of new scents to investigate.

Wherever you roam, don’t forget to lead your humans to a good viewpoint - they love that.

Once you've stretched your legs, it’s time for serious play.

Some of Waterside’s parks feature dedicated dog agility and exercise fields, meaning you can run, jump, weave and wag off-lead to your heart’s content.

• Bowleaze Cove - A fenced dog field with agility equipment for high-energy fun.
• Chesil Beach - Another secure dog field perfect for sprints, training or simply a big roll in the grass.
• Tregoad Holiday Park - A spacious dog agility course with plenty of challenges for clever pups.

Not only will your humans be impressed by your athleticism, but you’ll also sleep very well later - trust me.

After a coastal run or a forest wander, there’s nothing better than a spa moment - especially if you’ve accidentally rolled in something fragrant.

• Bowleaze Cove offers a convenient dog wash so you can get cleaned up before heading into your holiday home.
• Tregoad Holiday Park also has a dedicated wash station (and they’re very understanding of muddy paws).

Clean fur + comfy accommodation = peak holiday vibes.

All that exploring works up an appetite. Luckily, Waterside parks have plenty of dog-friendly places to rest and refuel.

On Park:

• Bowleaze Cove - Enjoy outdoor seating at Drift or Southside Bar & Grill, grab a bite from The Doghouse, or relax while your humans enjoy sea views.
• Chesil Beach Holiday Park - Settle outdoors at the park’s restaurant for a relaxing breather - perfect for a snooze under the table.
• Osmington Mills Lodge Park - The Country Club offers a welcoming atmosphere for dogs and makes an excellent stop after exploring the coastal paths.
• Tregoad Holiday Park - Stargazy Bar & Grill is proudly dog-friendly, making it easy to join your humans for lunch or dinner.

Nearby:

• Weymouth is full of dog-welcoming pubs and cafés - ideal for post-beach refreshments.
• Looe has plenty of harbour-side spots with water bowls and a warm welcome for four-legged visitors.

We dogs know the real highlight is the accidental chip dropped on the floor.

After a full day of adventures, beaches, sniffs, and snacks, head back to the comfort of your Waterside holiday base. With dedicated dog-friendly accommodation across all parks. You’ll find cosy corners, room to stretch, and maybe even a sunny spot for that well-earned nap. Some parks even offer welcome treats and extras just for us - you’ll feel like top dog (because you are).

Round off your perfect day the peaceful way: with a gentle evening stroll. Whether you're overlooking Jurassic Coast views at Bowleaze, watching the sun fall behind Portland from Chesil, or listening to the waves and wildlife around Looe, Waterside really knows how to end a day beautifully.

Your humans will be admiring the breathtaking view. You’ll just enjoy the fresh air and the promise of dinner.

From coastal walks and agility fields to dog-friendly dining and dedicated wash stations, Waterside’s parks are designed to make every dog’s holiday unforgettable.

Now… where’s that lead? I’m ready for another adventure.
