Hope Cove

Important dog policy note: Harbour Beach at Inner Hope welcomes dogs on leads year-round. Mouthwell Sands at Outer Hope bans dogs between 10am and 7pm from 1 May to 30 September; outside those hours dogs are allowed on leads.

A small fishing village split into Inner and Outer Hope, with two sandy beaches, a working harbour and the South West Coast Path running through. The Hope and Anchor pub and Lobster Pod Bistro both take dogs. Big car park by Mouthwell Sands, smaller layby at Inner Hope, both pay and display all year. Phone signal is patchy, so set up PayByPhone before you arrive.
