Spit Beach Par

Dog-Friendly Beach in Cornwall

Spit Beach forms part of the Par Sands complex, offering a smaller, more intimate alternative to the main beach while maintaining the same dog-friendly year-round access. The location near the Par docks adds industrial interest, with working vessels and china clay operations providing a contrast to the natural beach environment. The smaller scale creates a more peaceful atmosphere compared to the busier main Par Sands area. Dogs enjoy unrestricted year-round access, making this popular with locals seeking quieter exercise opportunities. The positioning provides shelter from prevailing winds while maintaining the firm sand surface ideal for dog exercise. The proximity to Par Sands means easy connections to larger beach areas when desired. Access follows the same routes as Par Sands, with parking available nearby. The industrial setting may not suit all visitors but provides fascinating insights into Cornwall's working heritage. Basic facilities are shared with the main Par Sands area, while the small scale requires less formal amenities. The location provides good access to the South West Coast Path and connections to other local beaches.
