Crantock Beach is a great place for a walk with your dog. Take a look at these top tips to make the most of your visit.
We’ve been working on making it easier for you to find out how dog-friendly your visit will be before you and your four-legged-friend arrive. To help with this, we've created a new pawprint rating system and given all the places in our care a rating. You can find this information in the National Trust members’ handbook.
Crantock Beach is a one pawprint rated place.
Dogs are welcome here, but facilities are limited. They’ll be able to stretch their legs in the car park and walk in the nearby open spaces, depending on the season. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
There are currently no restrictions on taking your dog on Crantock beach and there are plenty of footpaths to explore with your furry friend.
If you are venturing along the coastal paths, please watch out for cliff edges and grazing livestock. Please keep your dog under close control at all times.
Our definition of close or effective control is:
Although rarely seen, adders can be common in the dunes, particularly in sunny weather. They are poisonous and can give your dog a nasty bite. If your dog is bitten, please seek immediate veterinary attention.
There are waste bins at Crantock car park for you to dispose of your dog's poo. A bowl of water and free poo bags are available at the car park hut when staff are present.
