The small beaches below Polruan village, across the water from Fowey and reached by the passenger ferry. This is the one place in Cornwall where both council orders bite: a July and August daytime ban, and a leads requirement that runs all the way from Easter Day to 1 October and covers the slipways, staircases and the promenade as well as the sand.

THE SMALL PRINTTwo orders overlap. Dogs are prohibited 1 July to 31 August, 10am to 6pm, from 'Polruan Beach and any slope or staircase leading to the beaches. Also promenade'. Separately, Schedule 2 of the Dogs on Leads Order 2023 requires a lead and close control on the Polruan beaches, their slopes and staircases and the promenade between Easter Day and 1 October — Easter can fall in late March. Breaching the order is a £100 fixed penalty notice.
