Dog friendly places | St Ives, Cornwall

Hélène Chaussavoine

What’s better than spending your holiday with your four-legged friend. With several dog-friendly beaches and welcoming places for both you and your dog to enjoy a coffee or meal too, St Ives is a great location for a dog-friendly holiday.

With no restrictions, dogs in St Ives are welcome on Bamaluz Beach, Pier Beach and Lambeth Walk any time of year.

Even in the summer months, when Blue Flag beaches only allow our four-legged friends before 10 am and after 6 pm, there is still endless scope for evening strolls admiring the sunset.

If you and your four-legged friend are looking to do something away from the beach, many places in St Ives will happily welcome your furry friend for lunch or dinner so to prepare for your holiday, here is a list of where you can take them...
