Whether you live in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly or are just visiting and you have a dog then you might want to take your furry friends to the beach.

On the flip side if you are not a fan of dogs and want to visit a dog-free beach then you might want to find out which ones to avoid.

There are a number of beaches in Cornwall which have Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) placed on them by Cornwall Council which limit when you can take your four-legged friends.

But which beaches in Cornwall have no dog restrictions, where can you let your pets run free and which ask that you keep them on a lead?

Here is a list of 136 beaches in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly where there are generally no restrictions on taking your dog at any time of the year.
