The Boathouse is a waterside pub and cafe on Preston Sands in Paignton, where dogs are welcome inside. It's ideally placed for a dog walk along the seafront near the town centre and pier, with the added convenience of on-site parking. The venue serves breakfast, brunch, cakes and coffee throughout the day, alongside the pub menu.

Whether you've got wet paws to dry or just need somewhere to stop mid-walk, this beachside bar and restaurant gives you the practical choice to keep your dog with you. The location is perfect for dog owners who want to combine a stroll with a proper break without the hassle of tying up outside.

Open daily and actively trading, The Boathouse works well for casual visits or longer stays. It's the kind of place where you can settle in knowing your dog can come along too.
