About This Place

Porthmeor is the most exposed beach in St Ives, sandy and very popular with surfers due to rare protection from south-westerly gales. A stone’s throw from the Tate Gallery, there is a small car park right above the beach and an excellent cafe. -->

💡 Our Take

Porthmeor Beach in St Ives, Cornwall is a fantastic, dog-friendly escape! Your furry pals are welcome year-round on this sandy beach, making it perfect for spontaneous seaside trips. Parking can be tricky in peak season, so arrive early! While the sea is inviting, always be mindful of currents. Given its relatively calm waters, its best for dogs of all shapes and sizes. The nearest facilities are a short walk away in St Ives. DogParkUK recommends keeping a close eye on your playful pup, particularly during high tide, to ensure a safe and happy beach day!
