Dog Notes:

Perranuthnoe Beach in Cornwall has seasonal dog restrictions. Dogs are typically welcome on the beach outside of the main summer season (usually from Easter Day or 1st May until 30th September – however, it is crucial to always check the local Cornwall Council or on-site signage for the exact dates and times when restrictions apply, as these can change).

Please clean up after your dog when visiting this Cornish beach.
