On the Beach
From June 1 to September 15, dogs are not allowed in supervised beach zones, dunes, and the sea between 10 AM and 7 PM. In the Vosseslag and Harendijke bathing zones, dogs may pass on a leash to stay outside the bathing zone. Outside this period and in unsupervised zones, dogs are always welcome and may roam freely. Dog owners must clean up after their dogs.
Public Places
In other publicly accessible places, including dune forests, dogs must be kept on a leash of no more than 1.50 meters. Dogs are not allowed in municipal buildings and cemeteries.

Dog zone Bulskampveld
Every healthy dog needs to be able to let off some steam. Dogs are social and like to play with other dogs. That is why the Agency for Nature and Forests has created a dog area in the Bulskampveld provincial domain.
Dog meadow Zedelgem
At the 'Den Doorn' site along the Diksmuidse Heirweg, dogs and their owners can enjoy the dog-walking area to their heart's content.
Dog meadow Nieuwpoort
In Prince Mauritspark (at the corner of Dienstweg Havengeul & Louisweg), dogs can run around freely and meet other four-legged friends. The large meadow is fenced off to create a safe environment.
