A Blue Flag, sandy surf beach.

The only beach in St Agnes Parish that still has sand at high tide. Can get very busy on hot days in the summer holidays when parking can be an issue. A nice choice of facilities and a well stocked village shop provides plenty of lunch options. At low tide, opens up into a 3 mile stretch of sand with Chapel Porth to the north and Lushingtons to the south. Lifeguarded 10am to 6pm Spring - Autumn.
