Fun Things to Do with Your Dog in Cornwall
Around 53% of pet owners take them on their holidays, and 52% only stay at pet-friendly accommodation, according to a TripAdvisor survey. As People see pets as part of the family, it is only logical for families to include pets in all the fun.
In recent years, Cornwall has become one of the UK’s most popular destinations for dog-friendly holidays, thanks to its open landscapes, coastal paths, and welcoming attitude towards four-legged visitors. From laid-back beach days to scenic countryside walks, it’s easy to plan a break where your dog is just as happy as you are.
If you are visiting Cornwall and you have already decided to book a pet-friendly caravan at Tencreek Holiday Park, then you’ve got half the job already done. When you’re not relaxing, enjoying a swim at the pool or enjoying a scenic walk along the park, make sure to enjoy the area to the full. Cornwall is a dog lover’s paradise, so make the most of it by heading to these beautiful spots, and take a look at these things to do with dogs in Cornwall.
Heading to a Dog-Friendly Beach
Cornwall is home to so many dog-friendly beaches. If you don’t live in a coastal area, then you will probably be surprised at how quickly your dog takes to the sand, running around in quick circles and expressing an interest in the lapping waves.
Beach trips are often the highlight of a dog-friendly holiday, offering space to run, new scents to explore, and the chance to cool off on warmer days. Many Cornish beaches remain dog-friendly year-round or outside of peak summer restrictions, making it easy to plan visits throughout your stay.
Just a few of the many beaches you can opt for when on caravan holidays in Cornwall include Lansallos Beach, Talland Bay, and Hannafore. All these are just a few miles away from Tencreek, Looe. Talland Bay in particular is just 0.9 miles from Tencreek, and has two beautiful beaches to choose from.
These quieter bays are ideal if you’re looking to avoid the crowds, especially when travelling with a dog that prefers calmer surroundings. Always check local signage for seasonal dog rules and remember to bring fresh water and towels for muddy paws before heading back to your caravan.

Enjoying Freshly Baked Goods at Looe
As part of your hunt for dog-friendly activities in Cornwall, you may opt for a morning walk followed by a coffee and a freshly baked treat at a dog-friendly café.
Looe’s relaxed harbour atmosphere makes it a lovely place to wander with your dog, especially in the mornings when the town is quieter, and the fishing boats are returning with the day’s catch.
Stopping at independent bakeries and cafés is a great way to support local businesses while enjoying a slower pace of holiday life. Many places will happily provide water bowls and shady spots for dogs to relax while you enjoy your refreshments.
Dogs are also welcome at the Looe Food Festival, where a plethora of traders display food and drink of the very best quality. Don’t forget to bring a treat for your pooch, of course, or he may get a little jealous!

A Scenic Walk along Cornwall Holiday Park
One of the best things about being at Tencreek is that you don’t have to venture far to experience the beauty of nature. There are plenty of Cornwall dog walks where you can amble along the rolling hills, pause for Instagram photos of you and your pet, and take in the beauty of the sea, which is visible from all sides of the park. After your walk, enjoy a refreshing drink or hearty meal in Castaways Bar.
Early mornings and evenings are particularly special, with softer light and quieter paths making them ideal times for peaceful walks. These moments often become favourite holiday memories for both owners and dogs alike.
Cornwall is known as a dog-loving land, and the proof in the pudding is the fact that most attractions welcome four-pawed guests. From beaches to dog-friendly cafés, walks along the coast to shopping, there is something for pet owners and pooches of all tastes. If you will be walking long distances, remember to run it by your vet beforehand and to gradually build up your dog’s fitness level. All activities should also be appropriate for your dog’s temperament, age, and health condition.
