Horse riding on East Devon beaches

The riding of horses on East Devon District Council controlled beaches is allowed, but the council asks that the following points are complied with;

  • Horse riding should not take place between 0900 and 1800 when the beach is likely to be busy - eg school/bank holidays.
  • The beach area shall be left in a clean and tidy condition. Please remove droppings and any other items deposited as a direct or indirect use of the area.
  • Please give way to all other beach users, and remember that not all members of the public are familiar with horsemenship and the area is open to the general public at all times. Be aware of people, small children and dogs in the area.
  • Act sensibly and with consideration for other beach users.

If you wish to discuss arranging a horse riding event on a council controlled beach, or for any further information, please do not hesitate to contact Street Scene Services.
