South Cornwall >> Beaches

For busy family beaches, head for any of those around Falmouth, or for a quieter day on the sand, explore the hidden coves and bays of the Roseland peninsula.

Carne Beach
Carne Beach joins Pendower Beach to form one gloriously long stretch of sand, popular with families due to the easy parking right behind the beach.
