Jennycliff Beach

Dog-Friendly Beach in South Devon

Jennycliff sits on Plymouth's eastern outskirts, offering a pebble beach with spectacular views across Plymouth Sound towards the Cornish coast. The dramatic clifftop location provides excellent walking opportunities, while the beach itself offers a more natural alternative to Plymouth's central waterfront areas. Dogs are welcome year-round, making this popular with Plymouth dog owners seeking coastal exercise without lengthy journeys. The combination of beach and clifftop walks provides varied terrain and exercise opportunities. Access from Plymouth city centre is straightforward via suburban roads, with parking available near the beach. The proximity to urban areas means good transport links while maintaining a natural coastal feel. The clifftop café and facilities cater to visitors, while the views across to Cornwall provide dramatic seascapes. The location within Plymouth Sound means ferry watching and naval heritage connections add interest beyond simple beach activities.
