Fowey

Fowey sits on one of Cornwall's prettiest estuaries, and it is unusually generous to dogs. The local restriction window is short: Readymoney Cove, the town's own beach, only restricts dogs during July and August, and spectacular Lantic Bay just around the headland welcomes dogs all year. Par Sands, ten minutes away, is another year-round option when you want flat sand rather than a cove.

Where can you eat and drink with a dog in Fowey?

The town itself is small, steep and full of places that will welcome your dog. Our directory lists more than 25 reported dog-friendly cafes and pubs in and around Fowey, including the Olive Branch and The Dwelling House in the centre. Take the passenger ferry across to Polruan with the dog for the best view of the town from the water.

What are the best dog walks near Fowey?

For a proper leg-stretch, the coast path east towards Polperro and Looe is a 5.5 mile stretch of classic Cornish walking, and the shorter climb to Lantic Bay rewards you with one of the county's finest dog-friendly beaches. Outside high summer, you can do beach, walk and lunch without checking a single restriction sign.
