Celebrate National Walking the Dog Day with a Coastal Adventure at Waterside

South West Coast Path

This world-famous coastal path boasts breathtaking views, rugged cliffs and sandy beaches. Dogs will love exploring the trails, sniffing out new scents and feeling the sea breeze as you take in the stunning coastline. Stop off at a dog-friendly café or take a break at the beach so they can enjoy a paddle!

Dog-Friendly Beaches in Cornwall

Cornwall is home to several stunning dog-friendly beaches where your pup can run free. Seaton Beach is a fantastic year-round dog-friendly spot, offering plenty of space for them to roam. Whitsand Bay is another great option, though some sections may have seasonal restrictions. Be sure to check local guidelines before visiting. 

Bowleaze Cove to Weymouth

A scenic stroll from Bowleaze Cove along the seafront towards Weymouth offers beautiful coastal scenery and plenty of open space for your pup to stretch their legs. Be mindful of areas where dog access is restricted during the season. However, with plenty of dog-friendly spots along the way, including cafés and pubs, it’s a great way to spend the day.

Chesil Beach & Fleet Lagoon

For an unforgettable walk, head to Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon area. This stretch of coast provides an invigorating walk with plenty of sights to keep you and your dog entertained. Be mindful of the local wildlife and keep your pup on a lead where necessary. 

Osmington Mills Coastal Walk

For a more peaceful route, explore the coastal paths around Osmington Mills. This charming area is rich in history and offers panoramic sea views. Your dog will love the fresh air and you can round off your walk with a visit to The Country Club for a relaxing meal.
