Dog-friendly Holidays in Newquay
Newquay is Cornwall’s surf capital, with big beaches, clifftop hotels and plenty of places to eat out with a dog. Fistral and Crantock both welcome dogs all year, so there’s always somewhere for a proper run, even in high summer. The coast path runs right around the town: walk out to Towan Head above Fistral for the sunset, or follow the Gannel estuary round to Crantock. Porth Beach is closed to dogs between 10am and 6pm in July and August, and some of the smaller town beaches are privately run with their own rules, so check the signs.
