Alternatively, 10 minutes up the coast, St Agnes Beach welcomes canine companions throughout the year.
Home to a variety of Cornish heritage landmarks, hire bikes and explore some of the mining relics located along bike trails in the area or pull on your wellies and venture along the South West Coast Path by foot.
