Beaches in Cornwall - South Coast
A popular destination for families who want to enjoy a lazy day at the beach. Swimming is reasonably safe away from the river mouth and there are a number of sand dunes for the children to explore.
The small sheltered cove has a gently sloping sandy beach and is ideal for families. There are plenty of good walks along the South West Coast Path and a walk up to St Catherine’s Castle provides excellent views across the estuary.
