Much to my surprise it turns out you can roll straight off the beach with a wet sandy labrador and sandy wellies, and warm up inside this very popular cafe. http://www.jazzcafesandbanks.co.uk We have quite a few more dog-days left on the beach - dogs are allowed from the start of October through to end of April, when bikinis and ice-creams take the place of wellies and wooly hats!
Re: Jazz Cafe, Sandbanks Well, yes, quite! I don't think I'd risk it in the evening, I'd feel pretty conspicuous surrounded by Beautiful Young Things I should think ;D ;D Much more casual on a Sunday afternoon though - time it right and there's live jazz. 8)
