Dogs can enjoy Kynance Cove's sandy beach for ten months of the year and on the footpaths around the beach all year. Please help keep Kynance enjoyable for everyone by keeping your dog under close control, cleaning up after them and following the guidance below.
We've been working on making it easier for you to find out how dog-friendly your visit will be before you and your four-legged friend arrive. To help with this, we've created a new pawprint rating system and given all the places in our care a rating. You can find this information in the National Trust's members' handbook.
Kynance Cove is a two pawprint rated place.
These places have water bowls, dog bins and dog-friendly walks. You’ll be able to take your dog into some areas, but not everywhere. If there’s a food and beverage outlet, you can have a cup of tea with them, probably outside. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
There's a council enforced seasonal dog ban in place 1 July - 31 August 10am - 6pm. Dogs are welcome on the surrounding footpaths all year.
Dogs are also welcome at Kynance Cove Cafe (NT concession).
Kynance Cove, and the surrounding heath, is an important site for wildlife including lizards, ground nesting birds, reptiles and sea birds, so please always keep dogs under close control and do not let them chase wildlife.
Please be aware that livestock often graze surrounding fields and downs at various times of the year. Always keep your dog on a lead near livestock and if approached, let your dog off the lead. Where access routes cross grazing sites, please be alert, keep your distance, and avoid getting between animals and their young.
There are water bowls outside Kynance Cove Cafe and and there are dog waste bins in the car park. There's also a drinking water tap and dog bowls in the car park for any pups who need refreshments.
