Dog Friendly Beaches
Newquay is a paradise for dogs and their owners, with plenty of sandy shores to explore just moments from The Central. Towan Beach, Great Western Beach and Newquay Harbour are all perfect for a seaside stroll before stopping by for a drink or bite to eat, but do check the dog-friendly seasons before you go.
For longer adventures head to Newquay’s famous beaches, Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay, both of which welcome dogs most of the year and offer miles of coastline to discover. If you and your four-legged friend fancy stretching your legs even further, Mawgan Porth is well worth the trip. With its expansive sandy beach, rock pools and stunning coastal views, it’s the ideal spot for beach walks, games of fetch and catching one of Cornwall’s spectacular sunsets.
