Beer S.C.

Never took the dogs to Beer, but when I visited the club there was a dog on the balcony, so that was a good sign. The club house is a large wooden shed structure, which gives it a relaxed and informal feeling with friendly (probably the most friendly members I have ever come across) members - they treat me like a member and I have only sailed there once and they still e-mail me with news etc. Dogs are restricted from the beach on the left in the summer but can go to the right. Only a 4 star as there are no really great walks close by, but actually the pub on the other side of the road is OK with dogs, so maybe it should be a 5 star.

Starcross S.C.

Nice rural location, with allegedly good walks, unfortunately when we were there the weather wasn't very good so we didn't try them out. Some confusion over whether dogs were allowed in parts of the club house, no one was really sure, but they were allowed on the grounds at least. In the end they stayed in the car. Three stars on the assumption the walks are as good as they were described.

Lyme Regis SC

Active dinghy sailing club with friendly atmosphere. Dogs welcome in the club and around, but are restricted from the beach and slipways during the summer, also gets crowded on the promenade, so not really any good walkies, hence only the 4 out of 5 stars.

Axe Y.C.

Nice friendly club, with new club house, some local dinghy sailing. Dogs are allowed on the Axmouth part of the beach all year long, which is great. The Beach on the Seaton side only allows dogs in the winter. The club leave a dog water bowl out which is nice, but no dogs anywhere inside the club, so only a 2 and a half paws.
