All the Cornish beaches where dog restrictions have ended for another year
Time to take those four-legged friends to the beach!
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 30).
Cornwall Council has a number of Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) in place which limit when dogs can be taken on some beaches.
Whilst most of these restrictions operate from July 1 to August 31 there are some which run from May 15 to September 30.
The restrictions only prevent dogs being taken onto those beaches affected from 10am to 6pm. But those limits have now come to an end until next year.
These are the beaches where restrictions have ended:
