Thousands of people visit Southwold each year and a group of local people try to help enhance it as a 'dog paradise'. The Southwold and Reydon Dog Owners Group works with local Councils and other grouos to provide practical support in this aim, such as providing dog 'poo' bins, helping people understand where it is safe and permitted to lets their dogs enjoy the beach, educating people in responsible dog ownership and generally making it a fun and friendly place to bring your dog.
