6. Good to know
🐶 Some huts are dog friendly — please check your booking details.
🌦 Beach weather can change quickly, so we recommend bringing layers even on sunny days.
🪰 During the warmer month, flies can occasionally be present due to the nearby pinewoods and warm weather. There is nothing we can do about this I'm afraid.
🔇 Please be respectful of neighbouring beach users. Wells beach is a shared public space and the huts are very close together.
