Hondvriendelijke stranden in Newquay

Britain's most famous surf beach, a wide sweep of golden Atlantic sand backed by dunes on the Pentire side of Newquay. Dogs are welcome all year round, making it the go-to beach for dog owners in high summer when some town beaches have restrictions, though the surf can be powerful so keep an eye on your dog in the water.

A glorious National Trust beach of pale sand, dunes and the turquoise Gannel estuary just west of Newquay, famous for its estuary and dune walks. It is dog-friendly year-round and one of the best all-day dog beaches in the area, with sheltered water on the estuary side and open surf beyond.

Two miles of open Atlantic sand stretching north-east from Newquay, entirely dog-friendly all year round. The vast expanse at low tide gives dogs room to run for miles, backed by cliffs and a cluster of dog-welcoming beach cafes, making it a favourite for a long dog walk in any season.
