Explore Praa Sands and its Surroundings
|
|
A wide swathe of sand that draws families here every summer, Praa Sands beach faces south and is said to benefit from the longest sunshine hours of any place in the country. Praa Sands is one of the few south coast bays to enjoy great, consistent waves and as such is a magnet for surfers.

Helston

Georgian town houses line the streets of Helston, giving it a stately air. Every May, the town hosts ‘Flora Day’, a May Day celebration which involves the famous ‘furry dance’ procession through the streets.

Marazion
(4.5 miles)
Most people barely glance at the village of Marazion as they head off over the causeway to St Michael’s Mount, but it’s worth a nose. There are some lovely galleries and a few cosy cafes to linger in.

Prussia Cove
(1.6 miles)
A lack of facilities make Prussia Cove a tranquil spot even at the height of summer, so if you can live without a beach cafe and loos, this is the one for you.

Perranuthnoe
(3.0 miles)
The path runs along the coast on the eastern side of Mount’s Bay. Pass the jagged rocks of Cudden Point to Prussia Cove, famous for its rock pools and caves as well as the smuggler John Carter, whose obsession with Frederick the Great, the King of Prussia, led to the naming of the area. Heading west will take you to Marazion.
