A wide crescent of white sand, Sennen is great for sandcastles and surfing and joins up with neighbouring Gwenver at low tide. Easy access and parking make Sennen a popular choice with families. All amenities are close by, including toilets, beach shops, cafes and a pub, plus the Beach Restaurant which has great sea views.
This little cove at the bottom of a lovely wooded valley still supports a small fishing fleet. Bring along the binoculars as it's good spot for birdwatching too.
Get to the bottom of the hit-and-miss path to Porthcurno, and you'll feel as though you've stumbled into the Mediterranean - steeply shelving powder-fine sand, an almost luminous blue sea and cliffs sheltering you from the sea breezes.
Access to this beach is for the adventurous. as it involves a scramble down over the rocks! The beach consistis mainly of round granite rocks, occasionally at low tide there can be small areas of sand.
A local treasure. Two small, unspoilt beaches nestle in Cot Valley, which is a good area for birdwatching. Round boulders make up the beaches. At low tide a sandy, secluded cove is exposed. Idyllic.
This beautiful sandy beach is thought to take its name from Gwynevere of Arthurian legend. It's a steep walk down, but tends to be less crowded than neighbouring Sennen and is a favourite with the locals. There aren't any facilities here, but it's about a 20 minute walk along the cliff path to the pubs, cafes and beach shops at Sennen.
This rocky little fishing cove sits next to England's only cape, Cape Cornwall; climb the cape and see if you can spot the point where the Atlantic currents split. A manmade tidal pool makes a good, safe place for children to swim and there is plenty of rockpooling to be done. There are parking and loos nearby and, in the summer, a snack van.
A quiet secluded spot where you'll find a pretty cove and the occasional seal. Access is from the coastal path so expect a walk to get there but it's well worth the effort. The sea is crystal clear and there's some interesting caves and rock formations. It is dog friendly year round but no lifeguards.
Access to this westerly facing beach is via a rocky path, passing some old mining remains. The beach is not safe for swimming, however there are some amazing sand and rock pools to explore.
A lovely woodland walk leads the way to this cove and it's a great place for rock pooling and snorkelling. There is no sand but you are guaranteed peace and quiet on this rocky shoreline. Dogs are welcome year round.
