Dog Friendly Holidays in Fowey

Dog Friendly Fowey Beaches

The selection of dog friendly beaches in Fowey is one of the things that make this little Cornish town ideal for dogs. Some of Fowey’s most popular beaches not only welcome dogs but allow them on the sands throughout the whole year.

The dog friendly Fowey beaches include Coombe Haven, Poldridmouth Beach, Par Sands, Spit Beach, Lantic Bay and Lantivet Bay. Par Sands is perfect for family days by the sea, as it offers toilet facilities, a shop, cafe and parking. Spit Beach is easier to access than the rest of these beaches, and it has parking 10 minutes walk away, although there are no facilities.

Dog Friendly Fowey Walks

The additional perk of dogs being welcome on the ferries mentioned above is that it makes dog-friendly walks in Fowey that much easier. The ferry connections make access to the coastal footpath around Fowey simple, and they are also included in the Hall Walk.

Hall Walk is a beautiful woodland walk that should take around 3 hours and gives dogs plenty to discover along the way. Look out for Lanteglos Church near Pont Mill, as this is where Daphne du Maurier married.

The Polruan and Bodinnick ferries run every quarter of an hour.

Dog Friendly Fowey Restaurants

No doubt the dramatic beaches and exhilarating walks in the area will leave you in need of some dog friendly pubs and restaurants in Fowey, so here are some to bear in mind. The Fisherman’s Arms is dog-friendly, and with picturesque views over the River Fowey and a welcoming food menu it’s well worth a visit during your holiday.

The Old Ferry Inn has a history spanning 400 years, and the comfortable pub welcomes owners and their dogs with its special charm. The Old Ferry Inn overlooks the river, and the sun terrace lends itself perfectly to a summer’s afternoon relaxing!

Dog Friendly Fowey Attractions

The dog friendly Fowey attractions enable you to enjoy time in the Great Outdoors, and whether you love exploring hidden ruins or admiring the scenery, you can enjoy it with your pet in tow. St Catherine’s Castle overlooks Readymoney Cove and can be reached from the beach if you don’t mind the uphill walk! The castle was the work of Henry VIII, and the ruins still fascinate visitors today.

As the attraction is largely open air these days, dogs are welcome throughout. Also, the Bodinnick, Polruan and Mevagissey ferries all allow dogs aboard, so those on dog-friendly Fowey holidays are free to explore the coastal path and neighbouring towns with their dog, and you can leave the car behind!
