| Summer | Dogs allowed all year. |

| Winter | Dogs allowed. |
| Also | This beach isn't covered by Cornwall Council's dog order, so no council ban applies. The landowner may have its own rules, so check signs on the day. The footpath from St Uny Church to the beach has been an on-lead area, but that council order ran out in October 2026 and a new one is expected. |
