If you have ever visited the St Ives and Hayle area, you will be aware of the huge stretch of soft, blonde sand that faces north west towards St Ives. This beautiful four mile stretch of sands is backed by dunes known as the Towans, derived from the Cornish word for sand dunes and part of this stretch is a dog friendly beach all year round.
How to get there:From Hayle Follow the B3301 towards Gwithian and Godrevy. You can access the central stretch of beach between Gwithian and Philack by walking west along the beach towards St Ives.Do always check tide times before you go on this beach, it is long and there are rocky outcrops on the beach which mean you can get cut off from an easy access point from the dunes by an incoming tide. Although there are lots of sandy paths up into the dunes, although some are rather steep in places.There is some parking along the road here and a National Trust car park near Godrevy.Dog friendly eateries: The Cove Cafe, at the Riviere Towans is dog friendly, so is the Godrevy Beach Cafe in the National Trust car park at Godrevy.Facilities: The cafes and there are also toilets near the lifeguard hut at the northern / Gwithian edge of Mexico Towans on the dunes.
