Falmouth's main town beach, a gentle curve of sand with gardens behind it and the coast path running along the top. As an award beach it carries the long restriction, closed to dogs from 10am to 6pm between mid-May and the end of September. Swanpool, ten minutes west, only closes in July and August.
THE SMALL PRINTProhibited: 15 May to 30 September, 10am to 6pm, under Cornwall Council's Public Spaces Protection Order (Dogs on Beaches). Breaching the order is a £100 fixed penalty notice.
Nobody has written one for Gyllyngvase Beach. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
