Padstow fica no estuário do Camel, e as praias dividem-se em dois grupos: os areais abrigados do estuário junto à vila e as maiores praias de surf na costa atlântica. As regras para cães são sazonais e definidas praia a praia pelo Public Spaces Protection Order do Cornwall Council, com multas de 100 libras. Duas praias do lado de Padstow têm proibição de verão durante o dia: Trevone proíbe cães de 15 de maio a 30 de setembro entre as 10h e as 18h, e St George's Cove de 1 de julho a 31 de agosto, das 10h às 18h. A boa notícia: Harbour Cove e Hawker's Cove a norte da vila, e Daymer Bay e Constantine Bay ali perto, mantêm-se abertas a cães todo o ano. Note que as vizinhas Rock Beach e Polzeath aplicam as suas próprias proibições mais rígidas, por isso aponte para Harbour Cove ou Daymer Bay em pleno verão, e verifique sempre a sinalização à chegada, pois a ordem pode mudar.
A wide, sheltered sweep of golden sand on the Camel estuary just north of Padstow, backed by dunes and reached on foot along the coast path or the beach at low tide. It is the town's main year-round dog beach and the natural target in high summer when the town-side beaches are restricted.
Rules: Dogs welcome year-round; keep them under close control, watch the incoming tide which covers the sand quickly, and clean up after them.
A popular sandy surf beach in a sheltered cove on the Atlantic coast west of Padstow, with rock pools and a blowhole nearby. It carries the area's longest seasonal dog ban, so it is a spring, autumn and winter dog beach rather than a high-summer one.
Rules: Outside the ban dogs are welcome; a 100-pound fine applies for breaking the seasonal restriction, so before 10am, after 6pm and off-season are the times to go.
A big, calm expanse of sand backed by the St Enodoc dunes on the Rock side of the estuary, sheltered from the surf and popular with families and dog walkers. Reached quickly from Padstow via the Black Tor Ferry to Rock, it stays open to dogs all year while nearby Rock Beach does not.
Rules: Dogs welcome year-round on a lead or under close control; note that adjoining Rock Beach has its own seasonal dog ban, so keep to the Daymer Bay side in summer.
