Godrevy Beach sits right at the east point of St Ives Bay, next to Godrevy Point and the very recognisable Godrevy Lighthouse. The beach is made up of golden sands and is backed by steep cliffs and rolling dunes which gives it a rugged and dramatic feel. |It is a popular destination for surfing, long walks and wildlife spotting, but because the beach is so long, it never really feels crowded. It is just a short walk over to where one of the largest colonies of grey seals live in Cornwall.
Dogs are allowed on Godrevy Beach throughout the year, with seasonal restrictions from 1st July – 31st August (10am – 6pm). View the map of which parts of the beach these restrictions apply to. Outside of these zones and times, dogs can enjoy the beach freely, making use of the long stretches of sand and numerous rock pools and caves to explore.
A National Trust car park is available near the beach with overflow available in summer. There are public toilets near the car park but not directly on the beach, which helps preserve Godrevy’s natural and unspoilt atmosphere. There is also a dog friendly cafe and surf hire shop. The South West Coast Path runs above the beach, offering excellent walking routes in both directions, along the beach towards Hayle, or over the dramatic north cliffs.
