About This Place

Gunwalloe Cove, also called Church Cove, is a sandy beach in a sheltered south-west-facing cove on the Lizard peninsula. A small church, with an unusual detached bell tower, is situated at the north of the beach, hence the name. Popular for swimming, surfing and families. -->

💡 Our Take

Gunwalloe Cove, Cornwall, earns our tail-wags! This sandy beach welcomes dogs year-round, making spur-of-the-moment trips with your furry pal a breeze. While parking’s limited near the church, it's worth the stroll! Swim safety can vary, so keep a close eye, especially during high tide. Since there are limited facilities nearby, pack water and poo bags. Gunwalloe is great for energetic dogs who love a good run and splash. Tip: The beach is relatively sheltered, but still bring a windbreaker! We think Gunwalloe is perfect for active dogs ready for beachy fun.
