Dog-Friendly Attractions in Newquay

The historic working harbour tucked below the town, still home to fishing and pleasure boats and ringed by dog-friendly pubs. The small harbour beach is dog-friendly year-round, and the harbour is the departure point for the wildlife and fishing boat trips, all walkable with a dog on a lead.

Several operators run wildlife sea-safari and mackerel-fishing trips from Newquay Harbour out along the coast, looking for grey seals, seabirds and sometimes dolphins. Well-behaved dogs are welcome aboard most trips, making it one of the most memorable dog-friendly outings on the north Cornwall coast.

The stretch of the South West Coast Path around Newquay's headlands, from Towan Head above Fistral to Pentire and the Gannel, is dramatic clifftop walking with huge Atlantic views. It is open to dogs year-round and links most of the town's beaches, so it doubles as sightseeing and a proper dog walk.
