Dog owners in Cornwall will soon face the annual restriction on which beaches they can walk their pets.
The majority of beaches in the county have restricted access for four-legged friends from Easter Sunday, with many seeing the ban coming in earlier.
There are many beaches where dogs are allowed all year round, but others have a dog ban in place during the tourist season.
Break the ban and you could face an £80 fixed penalty fine.
Guide dogs are allowed on beaches even where dog bans are in place. Dog Control Orders on all other areas are still in force; please check signs in place at local beaches.
Here’s the full list of Cornish beaches affected.
