Given its location, it\u2019s often quieter than the main beaches in St Ives, making it perfect for those looking for a peaceful dog walk in breathtaking surroundings, without restriction. At low tide, the beach stretches a long way out to sea. Just be wary that there are strong currents here, for those thinking of taking a dip with their dog.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>15.

However, many have seasonal restrictions, only preventing dogs at certain times of day, during the summer months. To help you plan your visit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornwall.gov.uk\/environment\/animal-welfare-and-enforcement\/dogs-on-beaches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cornwall Council<\/a> provide a list of their beaches that are restricted. It\u2019s worth noting that beaches with a Blue Flag awarded status have longer restrictions than some of the others.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<summary style=\"padding: 20px; background-color: #f2f2f2; cursor: pointer;\"><strong>Which beaches in Cornwall have no dog restrictions? <\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\">There are many beaches where you can allow your dog to roam free, unrestricted. A lot are listed in this blog, ranging from the popular surfing beach of Fistral Bay, to the quiet unspoilt Porthkidney Sands. Don\u2019t forget many, like Seaton and Hannafore Beaches, also have dog-friendly eateries easily accessible.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">\n<summary style=\"padding: 20px; background-color: #f2f2f2; cursor: pointer;\"><strong>When do dog bans apply in Cornwall? <\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\">It varies from beach to beach, but most bans cover the Summer. Some beaches like Copperhouse Pool and Carnsew Pool ban dogs all year round, 24 hours a day, whilst others like Carbis Bay ban dogs from 15th May -30th September. There are also some that ban dogs just from 1st July-31st August. Most of these seasonal bans are from 10am-6pm, giving dog owners the opportunity to visit outside of these hours.

Bamaluz is perfect for those wanting to be in the heart of St Ives, close to the restaurants and shops, whilst Porthkidney is the ideal spot for relaxing away from the hustle and bustle.
