As we move into autumn and summer becomes a distant memory not only will the temperature drop but also the number of Cornish beaches with dog restrictions.

Our four-legged friends will have even more options for exercise on the coast with several restrictions set to end today (Sept 30th).

Cornwall Council has a number of Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) in place which limits when dogs can be taken on some beaches.

Whilst most of these restrictions operate from July 1st to August 31st there are some which run from May 15th to September 30th.

The restrictions only prevent dogs being taken onto those beaches affected from 10am to 6pm. But from today those limits come to an end until next year.

These are the beaches where restrictions end today (30th):

Carbis Bay Beach
