Dog Friendly Beaches
Chyandour and Eastern Green
When? All year, at low tide
Based on the way into Penzance (opposite Sainsburys), these sand and shingle beaches merge into one expanse. Parking isn’t the easiest, so we recommend walking along the coast path from the town to combine a pleasant dog walk with beach fun.

Long Rock
When? All year on the section west of the car park, seasonal restrictions from May-September on the eastern side
Long Rock beach connects with Eastern Green, meaning it’s easy to walk from one to the other with
