About This Place

Porth Kidney is a large, sandy beach at the mouth of the Hayle estuary. North-facing, with a river that makes for dangerous currents, the beach offers occasional good surfing. --> Two miles from St Ives, it is possible to walk around the headland to Carbis Bay at low tide. Accessed via the village of Lelant.

💡 Our Take

Porth Kidney Beach, nestled in Lelant, West Cornwall, is a paw-some destination for dog enthusiasts. This expansive sandy beach welcomes dogs year-round, offering ample space for them to roam freely. The soft, golden sand is gentle on paws, making it ideal for all four-legged friends, particularly puppies and older dogs needing a leisurely stroll. While parking is limited, nearby Lelant or St Ives have more options. Facilities are sparse, so pack the essentials. Though the beach is a gorgeous retreat, be cautious of strong tides; swimming is not advised. This spot is perfect for adventurous dogs seeking coastal adventures.
