Last Day Of Cornish Beach Summer Dog Ban

Can you tell I am a little excited, today is the last day of the Cornish Beach Summer Dog Ban.
From 1st October you will be allowed to take your dog on the beach at any time of the day.... freedom!

You will normally see notices at the start of beaches like the one below, but sometimes they are not completely up to date.  For all up to date information on which beaches dogs are allowed on please see the Cornwall Council Web Page on Beaches.

I was really pleased to hear that St Ives Town Council has received over 1000 responses to their consultation about the potential complete dog ban to their beaches, the results will be out at the end of October 2012.  I think there are a lot of dogs sat at home with their paws crossed as I type about the out come.

I do understand that not everyone likes dogs, however I do feel that with responsible dog owners making sure that your dogs do not interfere, upset others and of course scoop that poop that we can all share the fun in enjoying our beautiful coastlines.

I hope you all enjoy walking your dogs along the beach this winter, I know I certainly will!
