Cornwall is one of the most popular counties in the UK for a dog-friendly break, with a long coast path and a good number of genuinely dog-welcoming beaches once you know where to look.
Beach restrictions to know about
Like most of the South West, many of Cornwall’s most popular beaches restrict dogs during the Easter-to-September season on their main sections, usually with a dog-friendly stretch nearby — check the specific beach for your dates before you travel.
The South West Coast Path
The coast path running around Cornwall is largely dog-friendly and offers some of the best walking in the country — a strong reason to base yourself somewhere with direct or easy path access if daily dog walks are a priority.
Choosing a park
See our wider guide to the best caravan parks in Cornwall for families, and always confirm a specific park’s own dog policy (numbers, charges, restricted areas) before booking.
