Dog-friendly Polzeath

With dogs now allowed on Polzeath Beach all year round (small restrictions still apply), and with acres of National Trust land to explore, Polzeath is fast becoming a top destination for holidays with four-legged friends. 

We were so excited to hear that Cornwall Council shortened the restrictions to only apply between 15 May and 30 September. During these summer weeks, dogs are now allowed on the beach before 10am and after 6pm every day. Enjoy an early morning dog walk along the sand to Baby Bay and back, followed by a hearty brunch at TJ's Surf Cafe (they serve a doggy sausage too!), and spend the day enjoying coastal rambles with your four-legged friend. With over a hundred dog-friendly properties to choose from, we have picked our top five Polzeath dog-friendly properties.
