Local Dog Walks

Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
