Dog-friendly beaches in St Ives

Sand status, settled. Each beach carries its month ring — moss means go, rosehip means the council says no.

Porthgwidden Beach

Dogs banned JUL–AUG

A small sheltered cove tucked behind the Island, the calmest of the St Ives beaches and the one with the beach huts. It falls under the shorter ban, 1 July to 31 August between 10am and 6pm, unlike Porthmeor and Porthminster next door. Early June and late September are quiet and unrestricted.

Porthmeor Beach

Dogs banned MAY–SEP

The north-facing surf beach below the Tate, catching the swell that St Ives' harbour beaches never see. It holds award status and so carries the long restriction, 10am to 6pm from mid-May to the end of September. All four St Ives beaches are restricted in season, which is why the terrace at the beach café matters.
