DOG FRIENDLY DAYS OUT IN PORTHLEVEN

W hile Porthleven Beach itself operates a seasonal ban, there are plenty of alternatives close by where pooches can run free year-round. The Lizard Peninsula is one of Cornwall’s most spectacular stretches of coastline, and sheltered eastern side home to Kennack Sands. Just a little further to the west, you’ll also find Prussia Cove, just along from the sweeping crescent of Praa Sands.
