From May 1, a multitude of beaches throughout Wales will enforce a dog ban. The yearly prohibition, which lasts until September 30, affects beaches in all coastal counties of Wales, spanning from Conwy to Pembrokeshire.
Councils utilise a range of strategies to implement these bans, with some resorting to by-laws that can result in fines for those who breach them. These annual dog exclusion orders are put into effect but do not extend to guide dogs. They will be lifted on October 1.
Here's a list of Welsh beaches where dogs will be banned:

Britain facing 29C scorcher in just days as weather maps turn fiery red
In a matter of days, weather maps turn glowing red as a searing "Spanish plume" makes landfall in the UK, sending temperatures soaring as high as 29C in London Brits are just days away from basking in a glorious 29C heat blast as new weather maps show the country turning a glowing red. After a week of gloomy weather in most parts of the British Isles, many will be overjoyed to hear that temperatures are set to soar, with highs of 29C on the cards for people in the southeast. The conditions are predicted to drive up through the continent in the form of a "Spanish plume", bringing with it a mini-heatwave scorching cities up and down the UK on Tuesday, June 17. But it's not just London and the home counties that will feel the heat as an incredible 58 cities across England, Scotland and Wales are expected to see temperatures of at least 23C. New Ventusky weather maps predict the highest temperature, 28.9C, will be seen in north London, with the rest of the capital enjoying conditions no lower than 26C. Similar highs will be seen in the home counties as the heatwave stretches westward along the south coast. Another hot pocket is forecast to hit areas around Gloucester, Worcester, Hereford and the Welsh border. The scorching heat which originated in Spain will spread up into France, crossing the Channel and making landfall in southern England from the week starting June 16, according to forecasters. As the week rolls on, maps start turning a glowing red. The Met Office's long-range forecasts show that the weather is expected to be a lot sunnier in the second half of June. Its forecast from June 10-19 states: "Changeable weather across the UK at the start of this period with showers or some longer spells of rain spreading in from the Atlantic. The heaviest and most prolonged rain will probably be across parts of the north and northwest, with the southeast likely driest. "Temperatures are expected to be near normal or slightly above. Into the second half of next week, there is potential for some warm or hot weather to develop, particularly in the south and east, although this may be accompanied by heavy showers and thunderstorms. Into the middle of June, high pressure may become more dominant. This could bring periods of fine and dry weather, especially in south and temperatures rising above normal, although some thundery outbreaks remain possible." But then from June 20 to July 4 its prediction reads: "Mid-June will probably see a good deal of dry weather across the UK with high pressure tending to dominate, especially in the south, although some thundery outbreaks are still possible.

'The hotel block was shaking' Welsh man caught up in Greek earthquake relives ordeal Stephen Beaumont, currently holidaying in Rhodes with his partner, was awoken by the doors and windows of their room rattling A view of Rhodes in Greece (Image: Anadolu via Getty Images ) A Newport man has described the "frightening" experience of being caught up in an earthquake whilst on holiday in Greece. Stephen Beaumont is on holiday in Lalysos in Rhodes with his partner. On the fourth-day of their trip, the 61-year-old explained how they were awoken by their "doors and windows rattling". They didn't know it at the time, but Mr Beaumont was feeling the impact of one of the several huge earthquakes that hit the Greek island, and parts of Turkey. The first tremor, measuring 6.2 on the Richter Scale, struck 29km north of Rhodes around 12.30am local time and was felt across Greece, Turkey and the rest of the region. A second quake hit Marmaris in Turkey at 2.13am, registering 5.8. A map shows the earthquake which hit Rhodes in Greece At least 69 people have been injured, and in Turkey, a 14-year-old died. Read what the holiday companies say about travelling to Greece here. Mr Beaumont said said: "We were sleeping and awoke by the bed shaking, and the doors and windows rattling. Article continues below "The whole block in hotel was shaking. "It lasted roughly two to three minutes but it was so surreal and really hard to describe how it felt. "It was very frightening as we were on third floor of the block. "We didn't know what do really, in case there was another one. "We went down to reception where there were other guests who were very frightened. "We stayed for a few minutes then returned to our room hoping that there wasn't another on the way. "Thankfully that was it, but it was so frightening. "Me and my partner are fine. We were just a bit traumatised at the time not knowing what to do. Thankfully, the earthquake hasn't affected our trip or travel plans, it was just a surreal experience." Article continues below
