The 45 best kid-friendly beaches in Cornwall

Porthcurno Beach is absolutely stunning — one of the best beaches I’ve ever visited! The soft golden sand, clear turquoise water, and beautiful cliffs make it feel like a tropical paradise right here in Cornwall. It's peaceful, clean, and perfect for swimming, relaxing, or just enjoying the views. There’s also a smaller beach just next to it that feels almost private — quieter and hidden, perfect for photos or a quiet moment away from the main beach. The facilities here are excellent too. There are clean public toilets right next to the car park and large bins for rubbish, which is a huge plus — I’ve been to many beaches that don’t offer anything like this. There are also a few lifeguards on duty, which makes it feel safe, especially for families. The car park is a good size and free after 6 PM, which is super convenient if you're visiting later in the day. Overall, this place has everything — natural beauty, great facilities, and a peaceful vibe. Highly recommended!

Stunning beach. Short but steep walk from the car park. Narrow sandy space to play. The rocky stairs towards the theater parking also allow great views over the beach if you don't mind the climb. Good chance to meet the local seals.

Porthcurno Beach is absolutely stunning a true hidden gem with turquoise waters and golden sand, surrounded by dramatic cliffs. The view is breathtaking and feels almost tropical on a sunny day. There’s a short 10-minute trail walk from the car park to the beach, which is quite scenic and easy to manage. If you’re visiting in the summer, aim to be on the beach between 12–5pm when the sun is strongest the water is much more enjoyable during those hours, as it can be quite chilly otherwise! To really enjoy the peace and beauty of this spot, try to avoid school holidays. It can get very crowded during peak times, and the charm of the beach is best experienced when it’s quieter. Overall, a must-visit in Cornwall just time it right and you’ll have an unforgettable day!

Probably the best beach I’ve been to in the UK. Stunning crystal clear water. Soft sand. Calm sea. Easy to park and walk down with several small children

Beautiful beach even in bad weather. The colour of the water is amazing. You are near the Minark Theatre, and a view point if you don't want to visit there. Definitely be back for a swim.

Porthcurno Beach located on Cornwall’s southern coast, was stunning natural beauty. This beach offers visitors a unique blend of picturesque landscapes and cultural attractions. Visitors can access the beach via a five-minute walk, paid parking and A café and beach shop are situated nearby. A must-visit destination for those seeking a blend of natural beauty and enjoying the beaches shores.

An absolutely beautiful beach, clear waters, though blistering cold on a 20c day. Arrived at 10am on a Saturday when not a lot of families had arrived yet, blissfully quiet and clean. The public toilet is up the hill by the car park, there was also a cafe, though I didn’t visit. The way to get there via car is a bit scary, not gonna lie, a good 30mins on roads that don’t fit both directions of traffic, scratching up the side of the car on foliage… but definitely worth it.

Parking £5 for 4 hours a very scenic location while tide is out small caves with the beatifull red green Serpentine Rocks toilets and cafe there. When tide in a good cliff walk with great views.

Absolutely stunning views as you walk down to the beach, worth stopping just to take it all in. The walk down (and back up!) is a bit of a hike, so wear comfy shoes, but the beach itself is peaceful and beautiful. A great spot if you don’t mind the climb.

Speechless, the descent is doable for most (not like the climb down to Lantic bay if that helps) once you reach the bottom it’s nothing but small to large smooth rocks so good shoes and confident footing helps. Once the tide is out the beach is exposed which leads to another world of coves, caves and water perfect for swimming when the waves aren’t crashing in on a rough day. Go for it, you won’t regret! (Toilets available at the car park)

Simply stunning and unique (but time your visit to avoid the crowds) Probably the most beautiful beach in the UK - but get there early! We arrived about 9.30am, it was fairly quiet, parking was easy (parking is cash or Ringo). The walk down was fun - less so if you have prams as it’s rocky but my 5 year old coped well - it takes less than ten minutes. We were taken aback by the view as you approach the shoreline, its stunning - with white sand and warm, clear sea. We loved exploring the different sections of beach as well as the caves and inlets. It was relatively quiet and we had large sections of water and sand to ourselves (some of the small beaches we did actually have to ourselves). We had drinks at the cafe, which had plenty of outdoor seats and no queue. However, once the tide came in around midday/1pm and closed off a large section of beach it became very loud and crowded. We left around this time, with lots of people only just arriving - on our way back to the car we turned to see the cove … which was now absolutely rammed and did not look fun!

Absolutely gorgeous place, smartly kept by the national trust. Unlike a lot of Cornish national trust locations, this one can be enjoyed all year round, whether it's the serene tranquility in the winter times when almost noone else is around and the tides are calm, or the height of Summer when it's a hot-spot for everyone, this place is the best!

I haven't managed to go at the bottom to see the cove but from this viewpoint you can see some stunning views. The car park is just £2 and you can walk about 15 minutes to the cove. The are 2 routes, a lower route and s upper route I've attached some pictures as well

The national trust car park is open all hours so perfect for late evening/early morning visits, plenty of parking spaces available within the main car park and overflow. Kynance Cove itself is stunning and one of the highlights of our Cornwall trip. Such a nice place to swim, or have a scenic coffee break. Some nice coastal walks surrounding the area, with pathways to Lizard point.

Summerleaze Beach has quickly become our favorite spot during our second day here in Bude, Cornwall and for good reason! It's absolutely stunning, offering that perfect blend of classic Cornish beauty and fantastic amenities. The convenience is unmatched. Having the main car park right in front of the beach makes access incredibly easy, even with all our beach gear. Plus, the welfare facilities right at the start of the beach are a huge bonus, clean, well-maintained, and so convenient for families. The beach itself is a dream. The mix of sand and shingle is lovely, and there's so much space, even on a busy day. We loved watching the surfers, exploring the rock pools at low tide, and simply soaking up the atmosphere. And of course, the iconic Bude Sea Pool is right there, adding another unique element to an already perfect beach day. It truly offers something for everyone, from sunbathers to adventurers. A definite 5-star experience and a must-visit in Bude!

Unfortunately when we were there at the end of August the red flags were flying meaning no swimming, surfing etc. nice sandy beach with lots of people. 3 stars awarded as dogs were allowed on the beach. Most beaches don’t let dogs on till September so surprised this one did and for a non-dog family this was disappointing. Visited much nicer beaches during our week so wouldn’t return.

Great beach at Bude, very large and perfect for dog walking. The tide goes out a long way so lots of space. Also popular for surf school. Plenty of parking around Bude, with easy access to the beach. Lots of interesting features surrounding the beach. Life guard presence. There is also an enclosed sea swimming pool.

Very nice beach. Quite open and the tide comes in and goes out fast but attractive and a lovely place to spend some time either to catch some rays, ride the waves or watch the sunsets.

This is a lovely clean sandy beach with lots of amenities and a large car park to the rear. There are also surf schools and a tidal sea pool which is free to all.

Great sandy clean beach good parking shops and toilets with a sea pool good for surfing and with the RNLI on hand for every one's safety and good fishing off the rocks well worth the day out also dog friendly

scenic spot that’s perfect for a quiet afternoon enjoyed the sunset with some natural beauty, this beach is definitely worth the visit. Water was soo clear 🫶🏻

Plenty of parking around the beach but it is a very busy place, get ready... There is always something going on there so you can just chill and watch the world having fun. Plenty of food places, Cornish pasties, shops and it's dog friendly

Beautiful long sandy beach, lifeguards a plenty and well managed, lots of space to sit and lots of rock pools to discover life in. Love this beach and would highly recommend, great for family’s, surf and body boarding.

Amazing. It got pretty busy by the end of the day but everyone is really nice, it's clean and great for kids so long at you listen to the coast guard. Defo go for a surf if you can

Absolutely stunning morning views from the gallery — truly the best I’ve seen on Cornwall’s north coast. Also, beautiful hotels in a picture-perfect storybook setting. Highly recommend and a must-visit.

Fistral Beach is a stunning spot, especially popular with surfers thanks to its consistent waves. The golden sands and dramatic coastline make it a great place to relax or take a scenic walk. It can get busy during peak times, but there's a lively atmosphere and plenty of space to spread out. Great facilities nearby, including cafes and surf shops. Perfect for both beach lovers and wave chasers!

It’s a big, long stretch of golden sand with plenty of space whether you’re there to surf, sunbathe, or just enjoy a peaceful walk along the shore. The beach is dog-friendly, too, and it was a wonderful sight watching so many dogs enjoying a run on the beach. It has a really relaxed, welcoming vibe with a few lovely places to eat nearby, including a little café and an ice cream shop – perfect for a treat after a swim or walk. There are also a few shops around selling beachwear and souvenirs, which is handy if you need anything last minute. There is a surf school as well. The facilities are good – the toilets are free and relatively clean, and there are even showers to rinse off after being in the sea. Whether you’re into surfing or just want to relax by the coast, Fistral is a fantastic place to spend the day. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Sandy Beach, Rock pools at low tide perfect for kids to swim in. Lifeguards are on patrol. Amenities such as toilets, bar, multiple shops are situated at the beach front. The car park is right on the beach providing you get here early as it fills up rather quickly. Price is okay for being right on the beach, and having easy access. Prices are as followed; £2.30 for 1 hour, £8.60 for 5hours, £12:00 for 12hours There is surfboard, bodyboard hire available here.

Stunning place to go for a sunset! Chapel rock is a lovely feature in the middle complete with tidal pool that was very popular. Plenty of facilities around and places to eat.

An absolutely stunning place to visit! The beach is clean and tidy, plenty of dogs around but no dog mess, plenty of people but nobody littering, the atmosphere is peaceful and refreshing watching adults embrace the nature, children enjoy the sand and dogs bouncing around saying hello to each other as they enjoy the waves! The parking is difficult but worth it, clear parking prices and ideally located. We spent at least 12 hours here over the space of 3 days! Amazing place.

Amazing beach with lots of rock pools and caves to explore! Waves are fantastic for surfing and boogie boarding. The life guards are knowledgeable about the tides and do a great job at making sure everyone knows where to be when in the water. Dog friendly all year round and a great high street nearby to do some shopping.

Wow this is by far a very beautiful beach. We came on holiday and came here in the evenings. We were able to walk around where the rock pools are where there were fish and a pool to swim in. An absolute lovley place to come. There are bars and an ice cream shop that give good portions. You definitely won't be disappointed

Top place, God for watersports, walk around, have good parking, if come early possible found a free stay on the street, amazing food at Pod Cafe near the parking, next to the cafe on the main street free public toilets.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall. Very big with lots of interesting stuff to explore, and with lovely foamy waves.

Perranporth Beach is a beautiful, wide, flat stretch of golden sand that’s perfect for families, beachgoers, and watersport enthusiasts. The beach is great for bodyboarding and skimboarding, especially when the tide is out, leaving plenty of space to play and explore. Just be aware that the tide comes in very quickly, so it’s good to keep an eye on it! There’s a small car park right by the beach which is really convenient, though it can fill up quickly during peak times. The surrounding area has a good mix of bars, restaurants, and shops close to the seafront, making it easy to grab a bite or browse. One downside we found was that many of the local eateries closed quite early — by 5pm most places had stopped serving food, which made it a bit difficult to find somewhere for an evening meal. It’s definitely worth planning ahead or eating earlier in the day if you’re visiting. Overall, it’s a lovely beach with a laid-back vibe, great for a day in the sun — just don’t leave dinner too late!

It is a stunning spot, perfect for anyone who loves both beautiful scenery and beach activities. The golden sand is soft and clean, and the views across the water are breathtaking. The beach is popular with surfers, and even if you’re not catching waves, it’s a great place to watch them in action. The location is lively but still has a laid-back vibe, with plenty of space to relax or take a stroll along the shore. A must-visit if you’re in St. Ives!

Can beach for body boarding or surfing as a novice. Coast guard present so safe as a beach can be. Lots of space. Lots of amenities but parking is very challenging so use car parks on the edge of town such as the one off Park Avenue rather than the main car and coach park which is an even further trek.

Beautiful and wide beach Now at this time of the year it's not busy as it's cold. But people are still driving into the water. Nice white sands and stunning views from the top where you actually need to park your car.

Fantastic spot for beach lovers. The view is amazing, and there are some great cafes nearby. Perfect for a seaside stroll.

Excellent beach although it does get very busy, if you’re looking for some waves then this is the spot for you.

Love this beach. It’s not so busy as to be crowded and not full of dogs crapping everywhere (no dogs allowed during peak months). The beach bar is amazing. Open from early until 8pm, cheapest bar in st Ives (£16 gets beer, white and a coke). And the kids chicken nuggets are literally to die for. Drinks, watching the sun go down, nothing better.

Beautiful evening overlooking the beach. Nice walk along the coastal path.

The beach was nice. I took a pleasant walk along the coast. It was windy, so I didn’t go into the waves. I just enjoyed it from the shore.

Lovely city beach. Seems to be a reasonably flat sea bay, so safe for kids to splash in the water. Sandy white beach (coarse) and clear water. Blue flag beach (clean). Lovely view of pendennis castle, pendennis point and st anthony lighthouse. A beach cafe just over the sand, a takeaway and car park right next to it. Lifeguards on site.

Nice place to be with friends, family and good amenities in and around with the connecting coast path close by and a pay and display car park only minutes away from both beach and path. Extremely busy in summer time but all year round good place to come.

Nice little beach, and a nice walk from Falmouth,watch out for seagulls,they will take food from you just when you are putting it in your mouth.

Gylly Beach has clear, fresh water and soft, clean sand. The atmosphere is welcoming, with friendly people all around. It’s a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy the seaside ❤️

This beach was a nice place for me to relax after a lengthy coastal walk. It wasn't too crowded and had plenty of benches available to sit on. Also, it was located just a 5 minute walk away from Falmouth Town Station where I was able to get the train back to Truro from.

Public toilets, co op right outside beach entrance, sauna £8 for 30 mins, surfing schools, Swanpool beach is a walk around to the right side

Soft sandy beach with great facilities and a friendly family feel. Plenty of space on the beach. Car park is very popular and not big enough for the amount of visitors, but the staff in the car park are very friendly and efficient. We recommend the ferry boat to cross the river when the tide is in, so you can reach the cafe on the other side (with the orange parasols) which makes fantastic crab salad!

Stunning. Quite literally one of the best beaches we’ve ever been to. The water was a beautiful blue. We walked in via a very scenic route that wouldn’t necessarily be for everyone but really added to the experience. An absolute must visit in my personal opinion. Dog friendly all day too, big bonus when travelling with ya doggie!

Great for whole family, something for everyone. beach for small kids when low tide, as they can play in the river. great for paddle boarding in calm river or walk to beach and sea, surf and board. National Trust car park next to beach, £5 for 4 hours£9 whole day, need coins or app. Field next door charges £10 cash for whole day. Coffee shop with food in car park, toliets and ice cream shop on beach. Plenty of space and even dunes to slide down.

Beautiful big beach with lovely soft sand. Great for a walk. The sea looks so beautiful. Apparently the parking is expensive, which is a shame, but we are staying locally so we walked down. The little food hut did a yummy sausage roll and a delightful ice cream. There is also a surf school and, in high season, a shop would be open.

Ideal for kids with the river running into the sea. Parking can be an issue on busy days. Beach trolley recommended if walking from village community centre overflow car park at the top.

Beautiful beach, so well organised from the car park attendants to the structured walkway on the beach. A fantastic beach day with the family 😊

Brilliant beach, we had a lovely day with family, the lifeguards were so attentive and caring to everyone.

Great little surfer town with a lovely beach. Waves can be quite big so don't expect a relaxing swim. Lots of beach bars and restaurants around.

Beautiful beach, can go on a long walk and enjoy the sunset.

Beautiful beach north Cornwall sea clean dogs friendly lovely people

I have been coming here for years and it's always great! The beach is big and most of the time the waves are great. One of the best beaches in Cornwall, in my opinion.

Favourite beach for body boarding. The current can get strong though and a lot of seaweed the last few times I've been. Some nice places to eat nearby too

The best beach in the world, safe, clean, family friendly. It is brilliant for surfing, swimming, stand up paddleboard users, sea kayaks, paddling. Walkers, sand castle builders, rock poolers, cricket on the beach, food and drink and just chilling watching the waves.

For me still one of the best beaches in Cornwall, even at high tide still a good size beach. Only thing that lets it down is the no dogs policy, on a beach that big there should be the possibility to accommodate them for sure, especially out of peak season

Fantastic view! It's worth the taking the coast trail from St Ives. This trail walk also provides very beautiful views of the coast. It's easy to manage for even normal people. Beach is very clean and surreal. There is cave kind of structure at one end of the beach, you can peep inside (not recommended to enter). Train station is just around the corner. So, it's easy to catch the train back to St Erth from here, instead of catching it from St Ives.

Great beach gets busy and is hilly but worth it. Has toilets and beach shop for refreshments and ice cream and beach toys...

Lovely small beach, but boy the hills are steep to get down there and back up again.

Carbis Bay Beach is absolutely stunning – the perfect spot to truly feel the essence of summer! The golden sand, clear turquoise water, and breathtaking views make it a dream destination for anyone looking to relax or explore. It’s not just a beach, it’s a wonderful touristic place where you can soak up the sun, take refreshing swims, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Cornwall. The area feels peaceful yet lively, with plenty of nearby cafes and activities to make the day unforgettable. A true gem where summer really comes alive – highly recommended! 🌞🌊

Beauty. Loved my week here. Blue is now my fsvourite colour. Especially torquoise.

Beautiful beach with calm waters, perfect for swimming and relaxing. Stunning views!

Gorgeous wide expanse of clean, fine white sand - perfect for sandcastle building and sand sculpting! Strong winds and big waves when we visited so worth taking windbreaks and warm layers, even on a sunny day. We parked - free after 4pm - in the car park at the top of the hill. Steep descent to the beach; not accessible and a tough hill climb for myself, as an able asthmatic on the way back. Well worth it though: we'd definitely go back.

Beautiful beach with lots of rock pools and natural pools to jump into. Toilets are currently closed. Lots of port a loos in place. Lovely cafes for food and drinks.

Gwithian Beach is an absolute gem! Stretching for miles with golden sand and rolling waves, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a day by the sea. One of the best things about it is how dog friendly it is – our four-legged friend had the time of their life running along the shoreline and splashing in the surf. The beach feels wonderfully open and spacious, so even when it’s busy there’s plenty of room to find a quiet patch. The views across to St Ives Bay are stunning, especially at sunset, and the dunes behind the beach are lovely to explore too. Whether you’re here for a walk, a surf, or simply to relax and take in the fresh sea air, Gwithian has it all. A truly special place and one of the best beaches in Cornwall – we can’t wait to go back!

What an absolutely beautiful beach! Super clean, dog friendly to the left of the steps that lead down. Lots of people learning to surf, body board and enjoying the water. The Jam Pot cafe, Sunset Surf just 2 close by places for food and refreshments. Life guards operate during the day and a relatively large car park just above beach. Super views that impress year upon year. England has some beauty that's for sure.

A wonderful sandy beach - and enormous - both in width and length (it's over 3 miles long!). You will never have a problem finding a space on the beach for your family to enjoy their time here, even during the most popular times of the year. When the sun is shining and the sea spray hangs in the air, you get some stunning, dazzling views down the shore line (bring some sunglasses!). Also a fantastic place for surfing - whether you're experienced or just starting out.

Love this beach, been coming here since i was a young kid, im 40 now, and now my kids love coming here, brings back so many memories from when my nan and grandad use to take me there, has to be my favourite place to go to, always be my special place 🖤🤍

Beautiful beach, pay parking is using the JustPark app. Lots of people doing paddle boarding. It was high tide during the visit but it was still very nice to sit and listen to the waves and watching the sunset. We love it here.

Always a great beach, parking with easy access. Cafe nice good drinks and dog friendly

This is my favourite beach, lovely sands with lots of rocks to create rockpools and private areas to sit and relax. Great view of the lighthouse, you can walk along the beach to Gwithian with a couple of other access points to return via the clifftop walk. This beach is great for to sit and watch or photograph the sunsets. Plenty of parking in a couple of areas along the road or in the field at the end.

Classic Cornwall beach. Gorgeous clear water. Tide out it's a vast part of the Stives bay that's not too crowded and slightly off the beaten path. Lula pub and kitchen is great as well. Sand dunes are epic also.

Godrevy Beach is simply stunning! With its wide stretch of golden sand, dramatic views, and the iconic lighthouse in the distance, it’s one of the most beautiful spots in Cornwall. On our visit, we were lucky enough to see seals playing in the water, which made the day even more special. The beach feels wild and unspoilt, perfect for a long walk along the shore or just sitting back to soak in the scenery. The rock pools and dunes add to the charm, and it’s a wonderful place to explore at any tide. Godrevy has that magical combination of breathtaking views, wildlife, and peace – a true Cornish treasure. We’ll definitely be returning again soon!

Beautiful views, clean toilets, ample parking (payable if not NT member) clear water and beautiful sand. Coastline is craggy with a good view of the lighthouse island.

Godrevy Beach is such a fantastic place to visit! The beach is wide and open, with soft golden sand stretching endlessly, and the nearby lighthouse makes the view even more special. It’s perfect for surfing and swimming, with plenty of space to enjoy the waves or just relax in the water. One of the most fascinating sights was the clusters of mussels attached to the rocks, adding a unique charm to the place. There’s also a National Trust car park and clean public toilets, which makes visiting super convenient. If you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and unforgettable beach experience, Godrevy is definitely worth it! 🌊✨

Beautiful beach and walk up to the cove to see the seals. Sadly no seals on the beach when we visited but it was the wrong time of year. We did see a seal in the sea on the beach itself though. Recommend the ice cream van but take cash!

A Hidden Gem in Cornwall! Godrevy Beach in Hayle, Cornwall, is a stunning stretch of golden sand and turquoise waters. The scenic views of the surrounding coastline and the iconic Godrevy Lighthouse make it a photographer's paradise. The beach is perfect for surfers, beachcombers, and those seeking a tranquil retreat. With its picturesque setting and natural beauty, Godrevy Beach is a must-visit destination in Cornwall. 🌊🏖️🌟

My favourite beach to go to in Cornwall 😍 the beach is so clean and is by far the most beautiful one round the area locally. We love visiting here. We normally park in the car park opposite the beach which is a bit expensive but is also worth the money to visit this beach when travelling by car. The mermaid pub on the beach is also very good and friendly

Lovely beach with pub and cafes. Lifeguards in the summer. Lots of rock pools to discover. Fun for all the family. Even a nice walk on Porth island with its famous blow holes in stormy weather.

Nice sandy beach. Good walk early in the morning when not too busy. Alot of dog walkers.

It was a fun and interesting opportunity to explore some of the caves and find little water pools amongst the stones.. The beach was quiet and clean amd there were 2 Life guards on duty, so we felt safe the entire time..

Great place for a swim and paddle boarding. Never disappoints. Big carpark with shop and pub right next to the beach. A good few walks up the hill up to the cafe and then across and up to the coast edge.

Beautiful beach and surrounds. Lovely long smooth tidal flow with some caves and great sand. Brilliant little coffee place at The Hole in the Wall (literally) and a pub

Family friendly beach, lots of activities for kids. Plenty of parking available across the cross- Pay & Park. Clean beach with toilet facility. Watergate bay only couple of miles from here. Do visit if you prefer lovely walks.

A great beach for a dog walk and a wander. The Hidden Hut is set up from the beach but was closed when we visited.

Lovely little dog friendly beach with friendly people and a little shack serving unusually healthy food 😀 Had a great time here. Stunning location with walking trails around it.

Amazing view but fine-grained sand with rocks. Smelling seaweed. Not the best beach around , but worth to spend a bit time. Free parking but loading very fast. @ksen.ialondon @pt_serz

Gorgeous family and dog friendly beach. Clear waters and sand with rock pools at low tide. An award winning cafe just a few minutes from the beach.

If it's a sandy, secluded, sheltered bay you want this is one of the gems on this cost. Limited parking but that's what makes it so quiet. Go, of you can.

Super little hidden gem of a dog friendly beach. Complete with a small cafe & an absolutely stunning coastal path.

It was not very busy on the beach so if your are looking for somewhere peaceful and quite do visit this beach, parking could be an issue but other than that all good!!!!

One of the best beaches I've been to in the UK - turquoise water and soft sand. Although, getting there is difficult. Especially the last bit has an almost vertical descent, which can be pretty challenging. Thanks to this though the beach is not very crowded. Also, please note that this is a nudist beach. The car park at Treen village is very convenient and was £4 for all day (in 2025).

Gorgeous beach, worth the very steep climb down. IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON VISITING... **WARNING & NOTICE** We came here on Saturday (yes during the summer break / busy period) which is fine...sadly many of the people coming to this beach did not treat this area of outstanding natural beauty with respect. There were two different groups of people flying drones, thank you to the lady who went up to the one person and explained that it's prohibited on national trust land. This is clearly stated on the walk down to the beach...as with all National Trust sites. Think before you do! One of them arrived on a canoe..so if you are planning to visit this beach by water keep that in mind, and also that this is a naturalist beach. This beach is very worth going to..sadly on the day we came there were lots of anti social behaviours from tourists; people who had a speaker playing music, people playing ball games very close to people relaxing on the beach (near missing hitting people and us with their balls) & overall not much sense of connection to the natural environment. It was sad to see this. If you are planning on visiting this incredible location (or any similar/usually remote sites) please consider nature, the wildlife and as this beach is on the smaller scale be mindful of others beyond yourself. If you want to have a more lively beach experience, this is not the place to be. The currents can be very strong..if you are coming alone be vigilant of tide times and ensure you stay close to the shore as at high tide it is deep enough to not swim out.

Pedn Vounder Beach is a hidden gem, but be prepared for a challenging trek to get there! The steep descent over a rocky path isn’t for the faint-hearted, so wear sturdy shoes. Once you arrive, it’s absolutely worth it—stunning views, sheltered from the wind, and plenty of space to spread out. Make sure to check tide times before going to avoid being caught out. A truly amazing spot!

Beautiful beach, worth the climb. May be difficult with young kids but it is possible, I managed to get down carrying my shih tzu. Just as you get to the beach there is a steep part of rocks you need to climb up and down.

Best beach in UK I say. Very tough scramble down a rock face to enter and exit the beach. Not for the faint hearted. Huge reward if you manage to make it, white soft sand, turquoise waters and spectacular cliffs surrounding, making for an amphitheatre vibe

Parking If you are coming with a camper van then treen farm campsite with a booking . If you are coming along for a day or so then the best option is car park at TR19 6LF The walk Head out of the car park and take the first left on the dirt track. Keep walking until you reach the treen farm campsite . Turn left at your ten oclock and take the more eroded dirt track. No Vehicles beyond this point please note. Walk a good 5 minutes for a brisk slow walker until you see the sea Deep down below your eyes… you still cannot see the beach … coastal paths are clearly sign posted. Take the sign at 1 or at your 1 o clock and keep walking. You will get to. Point where it states path is closed to and as posted on my photos you will also see sign posting for pedn vonder and porthcurno beach… follow PV sign The beach The final journey down to the beach is a clifff down under nose… it is not kids, pregnant women or the elderly … It is not recommended for someone who is not into adventure . Depending upon the time of tide it can be slippery too. Avid campers and adventure doers - this is your paradise to be. The beach is secluded and rare a bird or two flocks here … you get to see the sea life such as seals puttting the head out. Now the beach is a nudist spot / naturist … so if you can’t stand up to someone being naturist Tarzan then don’t come please. STRICTLY NO DRONES. Let people enjoy their privacy … surely you wouldn’t want someone taking your photos with even clothes on without your permission so don’t snoop on. Time to beach - it can take anywhere upto 25-30 minutes to get to the beach from the top of SW coastal path. Water- it is super crystal clear gives you the effect of somewhere out of a normal UK beach. Temperature of water - On a Saturday morning at about 17 degrees temperature I did not feel the water is that cold. Now this could be due to the current the water generates it being a small cove ? May be some other use can correct or wrong me here … unlike on carbis bay or porthcurno you would feel more chilled … Enjoy the beach and respect other people’s space…

Stunning beach, a little tricky to get down to but well worth it. Probably the best beach in Cornwall and not too busy either.

Lovely beach that we came across during our coastal walk. Our visit also coincided with a charity fundraiser involving dog racing on the beach (it was Easter, hence the dogs chasing the Easter Bunny!) Lots of local facilities and definitely a beach to return to and spend longer at

Now my favourite beach after camping nearby for a few days! Cheap car park right next to beach. Fantastic cafe (Schooners) serving delicious pizza & coffee (feels like you are on top of the sea when on the balcony and the tide is in). Plus a few other lovelt places to eat/drink within 5 min walk. Really cosy spot. Perfect for bodyboarding/surfing. Friendly locals. Coastal path leads you right to it. 10/10.

Big wide beach, lots of surfing. Dog friendly. The best ice cream 🍦 Car park is very tight and not many spaces.

Dog friendly and so many rock pools for the children to playin , build sandcastles , body board and surf and Anne's pasties ❤️

What a lovely cove. Nice bar at the top. Not much beach when the tide is in. Parking is scarce when it's busy times and there's no phone signal to pay

Lovely beach, parking is tricky during high season. Doggy friendly and life guards present.

Very pretty, be careful on the hill into the beach.

A lovely beach with great sand and sea, we were lucky with the weather too! The youth hostel is great you can sit in there and have a drink and some reasonably priced good food.

Had a great day at Treyarnon Bay Beach. There are lots of rock pools to explore and a sea pool for a dip. The surf was up and great for body boarding with 3 lifeguards on duty to keep an eye on everyone. There is food, drinks and ice cream very close by, and even some public toilets.

We love this beach, we come every year it's dog friendly which is very important for me with 2 dogs. Beach is beautiful with loads of little pools of water,you can take a walk on a coastal path. You can get everything you need,Wc,food,drinks there is even a little local shop with all things necessary

Lovely large beach near Treyarnon. Plenty of place for bathing, surfing or family holidays. There is a stall with ice creams and hot snacks.

This was a good beach. Tight roads down to this place. There are rock pools when the tide is out and would be a good paddleboarding site. There were little to no waves when we went but still a good day out. There are toilets, cafes, and ice cream vans when we went. Limited but still available.

My favourite beach, everything!!

A lovely beach, quite crowded when we went in August. When the tide came in we headed up on to the headland for a walk and saw the sea pool before it was completely covered by the sea. A beautiful spot to while away the hours.

Beautiful pebble beach but a difficult walk down. Very steep path with some steps; it is difficult for people who are unfit, like myself. Some other reviewers have said 15 minutes down and the same back up. It took us longer than this due to having to take regular breaks on the steep incline. It's definitely worth going, but be prepared for a bit of a trek. Parking was simple, cash or app only. It said it would cost us £8 for 24 hours, but putting £3 in gave us the 24 hours for some reason. No toilets but there's another car park a 3 minute drive away with a toilet. I've added a photo of the last part of the walk so you can see how steep it is.

Amazing place to visit. Beautiful beach and cliff walks. Car park is a NT ( no toilets ) and was quiet when we went. We car camped overnight ( cleared and left as if we was never there ) and paid via the app for the machine. Steep steps to go down to the beach. Not suitable for those with most physical disabilities. Takes about 15 mins down and then same back up.

Beautiful beach , parking at National trust car park about 20 minutes walk , cost about 4 pounds for 4 hrs.This is a very quiet beach because the path down and back up a very steep, the Cornish coastal path crisscrosses here. The beach is Peebles.

Truly a hidden gem, and well worth the climb down and steep trek back up. National Trust car park nearby as well. The water is very clean and the beachhead is great for sunbathing. Great for a day out.

Beautiful hike down to the beach. Caution, extremely steep. But the path is well supported and laid out. It's a moderate hike difficulty, not easy. The views all around are breathtaking. The sounds of the ocean while you hike are magical. There is paid parking and a good map of the recommended hikes at the parking lot. No camping at the beach.

The drive to the national trust cat park contains some very tight roads be aware if you drive a wide vehicle. I paid £8 for all day parking, which isn't high for Cornwall, however the machine is PaybyPhone accessible, only change if not paying by phone. Others here saying the walk down is very steep, very true, I'd say going down is 10-15 mins, so steep it's impossible for buggys and lugging chairs and all sorts down. The walk up feels an absolute killer however there is plenty of space on the path with benches to rest provided, don't feel you need to rush. The beach is truly remarkable, the water is clear, dog friendly, soft sand with plenty of space when the tide is out, cliffs on both sides make you feel you are in the Mediterranean, facilities are lacking so be sure to pack food and drinks, and don't forget anything in the car you will not want to walk back up.

A real hidden gem! National trust car park nearby free for members, although the path is very steep it is definitely worth it for a peaceful and quiet bay. Very lucky to have dropped on such a hot day! Small pebbled beach with not much sand and no facilities FYI.

A must visit area of Cornwall if you're visiting nearby offering incredible views across the coast. We even got lucky enough to spot a seal and spent an hour just watching the dolphins! We got there early before 10am and the place was very quiet, an hour later once the coaches arrive it starts to feel very much like the busy tourist attraction and gets crowded quickly. Getting there early allowed us to take photos in front of the sign without the huge crowds. The sign is now behind a rope where you have to pay £10 for a photo if you want to stand near it. The coastal walks either side are impressive and not too difficult to navigate - there's a ship wreck about a 15 minute walk to the right of the sign which is well worth a visit. And the archway to the left. The food is average at best but also very expensive so would recommend bringing your own. We did the adventure golf which to our surprise was really well done. 15 holes in various pirate themed areas with high production value. It's definitely worth a visit for the stunning landscapes above all else. You can ignore the rest of the experiences but can see why they'd help engage younger visitors. £9 to park all day.

Land's End is beautiful in a rugged way. The views are spectacular on a fine day and even when the weather has closed in the wild wind blown atmosphere of west Cornwall is hard to beat. So why does anyone think a bit of crazy golf and a 4D cinema built in a layout similar to a motorway services is just what you need here? I recommend you park at Sennen Cove Harbour Car Park and walk over to Land's End (15-20 min walk), avoiding the service station vibes. There's a 2 or 2.5 hr circular walk via Nanjizal and then back inland across the fields that's very scenic. (Update: the fact there's a Land's End account that responded to my view kind of illustrates my point - does wild nature need a marketing team and amusement park?)

Land’s End is one of those rare places that combines natural beauty with a sense of history and wonder. Standing at the westernmost tip of mainland England, you’re greeted by sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and rugged cliffs that stretch dramatically into the horizon. The coastal walks here are spectacular, offering a chance to soak in Cornwall’s wild landscape while spotting seabirds and, if you’re lucky, even dolphins. The iconic Land’s End signpost makes for a classic photo opportunity, and the visitor centre provides helpful exhibits and amenities without taking away from the natural charm of the spot. Sunset is especially magical, as the sky meets the sea in vibrant colours. Whether you’re there for a quick stop or a long coastal hike, Land’s End truly lives up to its name — it feels like the edge of the world, and it’s a must-visit on any trip to Cornwall.

Great place to visit, especially if you like nature and hiking. Even for those who cannot hike you can take some walks and still see some of the nice cliffs. Some walking paths are manageable to do so. For those who are more able to hike can use trails along the coast. Just beautiful.

This is a big tourists attraction with multiple shops, 4D cinema, and crazy golf etc, which spoils it in a way as it's overly commercial. It's amazing once you get past that to stand out on lands end and look at the breathtaking scenery though. Beware that if you want photos next to the old sign you have to pay, so we stood with it in the background for a selfie! There's a big carpark which you have to pay to use.

Absolutely worth the journey!!!!! There were multiple cafes on the grounds, and a lovely restaurant. The ice cream shop was the main highlight for me - do try whatever seasonal flavours they have. As expected, the view was spectacular 😍

I gave this place 4 stars, not for the facilities which are fine. It's more the iconic location.This is as far south as you can go on mainland UK,now I have to go to John O Groats. This is a lovely place to visit and a must if you like the wild coast which is accessable with a short walk. Plenty to do for the younger visitors and the prices considering the location is fair. A must is a photo session at the famous signpost, it's roped off but the official photographer is very friendly and the cost is quite reasonable. Sorry but I didn't take a photo without any of the family in it so I included one from the exhibits. Depends on your fitness but a great way to spend a half day or a full day.

What a special place. Yes, there's a load of steps to navigate, drinks outside are in plastic cups, my beer was a bit flat but Lusty Glaze is so worth a visit. The look and feel of the place, the atmosphere, the superb staff, decent food, music etc, sets you up for a great time. The view over the ocean is stunning even if you're unlucky not to see dolphins or whales, which sometimes visit nearby. Parked in Lusty Glaze road and saved a few quid but plenty of parking options. You'll love it when you get there!

We attended an Ibiza Club Classics event and had THE BEST time! We've attended many events here and always been treated amazingly by the staff, experienced great bands and had delicious food. Would recommend 100%.

We went last night for the first time to watch Daisy Clark for the Sundowner Session. It's such a beautiful hide away. The weather wasn't the best but held off long enough for us to sit outside and enjoy the ambience. I will definitely return next summer.

Gorgeous beach with bar, restaurants and good toilets. We visited in September and were able to sit outside on sofas and listen to a DJ. excellent wood fired pizza and the staff were so lovely about our dog amazing view. Heaven on earth.

This is one of our favourite beaches in Cornwall. We have been coming here for may years now. The steps down to the beach, and more importantly back up, are quite a workout, but it's well worth the effort. Just as a side note, the carpark is run by Just Park and is a whopping £15.20 per day to park. Just to add, on the day of our visit, there was no lifeguard on duty! In all the years we have been visiting, there has always been a lifeguard on the beach. The sign wasn't until you got down to the beach, so if it is something that is important to you, it might be worth checking before you pay for parking and wall down 133 steps!! Sorry, but the lack of lifeguard and cost of parking stops me from giving it 5 stars.

We were lucky enough as a family to stay at lusty glaze for 2 nights for a private wedding. It was one of the most beautiful settings ever seen. Separate from the wedding, the beach is beautiful and perfect for kids and dogs. You will not be disappointed.

Got married there last week we love the place so much! And if my 83 year old mum who’s had a hip replacement can make it down and back up the steps, anyone can. Staff are brilliant, plenty of food options, couple of bars and stunning beach. We spent two nights in the beach cottage, which has fantastic views of the beach and sea, and with the beach not opening until 9am you can get up early and have the beach to yourself!

Stunning views,and great vista to see the seals. This was definitely the highlight of our holiday !

This island can be seen from the mainland, we parked at the field car park, took a picnic and watched the world go by. Just devine. There are toilets and an ice cream van, what more could you ask for.

Beautiful place, but spoiled by too many visitors. Car parks usually full, roads between car parks are narrow and causes tailbacks. Very popular with surfers with their vans.

Great location within loads of parking choice of several bays and view points from the headlands

Its a long and winding road but worth every minute the views are amazing and spotting the seals is amazing

Beautiful beach, huge expanse of sand with rock pools. Good surfing.

Amazing views A bit of sea weed and rocky but it’s has beautiful views and rocks. Child friendly

It's a very beautiful, well-maintained beach. If you're a National Trust member, you don't have to pay for parking; the staff is very friendly. The beach has a café that sells everything, and the food is very tasty. The tip is to go to the beach in the morning because after 2:00 p.m. the tide is already quite high, so you can enjoy the sea more. There are also plenty of trails for those who enjoy hiking in the mountains. When I went, it was quite crowded, but I still didn't miss the chance to take a look at the top of the mountains. The view is beautiful!

This beach has certainly got a different vibe....up at the top...there is ample parking with two connected car parks and an amazing little cafe with a good view. The walk down to the beach can be tricky at the end closer to the beach as the stone steps seemed to have deteorated but if you are mobile you can manage. The beach gives access to rock pools and also water streams that flow from the mountain across the beach to the sea... couple of places had mini waterfalls as well.. making this a fine place for a family to visit...Pets too seemed to enjoy the wide beach.

A lovely beach, however, final access to the beach is severely hampered at the moment by the final 20 yards of path and steps. The condition of the transition from land to beach steps make it virtually impossible for anyone with any leg based disability - temporary or permanent, that want to access the beach. If you are carrying large beach items or similar it will also be difficult. Having said that, the beach (at low tide) is wonderful for kids and dogs (subject to normal dog rules of course!) The cafe was good with plenty of seating with views and a wide variety of food and drink.

The best beach I have ever visited, although if you struggle to walk up or down hills I would suggest getting there early so you can park in the lower car park as the walk up the hill to the over flow is tough! Very tough! even the walk to the beach from the main car park is a challenge. But once you get down there the views the rock formations, caves and waterfalls all make it worth it, rock pools and waves bigger than me (over 6 feet) perfect for surfing or body boarding! It’s fully overseen by vigilante life guards who regularly move the safety flags too! Great for the whole family and dogs too!

Very nice beach, I am a NT member so parking was free for me but it's very expensive and a very rocky beach, not very accessible for those with prams or wheelchairs. We had a great day and went a few times while in the area but on a couple of days I noticed a NT guy giving kids stickers but he didn't give one to my toddler and I thought that was a bit rude. Great beach though

A short walk from the car park, over a few rocks and your on to one of the nicest beaches around. There are toilets and a cafe by the car park. When the tide is out you can walk for ages and explore the hundreds of rock pools. Our dog had the best time ever

We loved this beautiful beach just tucked away from the madness of height of season Budes beaches. It is a little bit of a climb up and down but worth it. Magnificent cliffs, rounded stones at the top of the beach. And as the tide goes out sandy for miles with dreamy rock pools. The Life guards were professional and friendly, keeping people safe. Do swim BTW the flags. Check tides before u come. Currently only car park payby cash or app. There is wifi at their office. Cafe great, nice breakfast with the best views. Dog friendly, our dogs had the best time. U will need shade in the summer.

Nice short day visit lots of shops and nice pasties to eat but parking is a bit of a venture, just a nice Cornish fishing town

The beach is beautiful. You can watch boats coming in and out as well. You can go crabbing you can build sand castles and you've got everything you need. Ice cream shops, fish and chips. Lots of restaurants, boat rides, water taxis and the sea is so clear you can see bottom . The lovely town is nice on flat level but East Looe is very hilly

Beautiful sandy beach, with really gentle waves ideal for young ones. With a picturesque harbour too. Toilets were 30p and you can pay by card!

The sheltered nature of the beach makes it suitable for swimming, sunbathing, kayaking, and crabbing, especially during the summer. The beach is conveniently located near the town, offering easy access to amenities and facilities.

Enjoyed an early morning walk along this beach. A lot of morning swimmers and dog walkers. Generally well maintained however alot of broken glass along the walkways which is dangerous.

Loved this beach. Very clean, lots of nice cafes right on the beachfront and close by. Decent public toilets by the beach. Cute little pier and lovely views. Only negative is the nuisance seagulls constantly circling overhead and swooping on unsuspecting people with food on the beach. My advice.. don't take anything edible onto the beach as you won't have it for long!! We only took coffee and water and they didn't bother us.

Really glad we visited spent about hour and half lovely walk through lots of shops, busy but fairly nice seaside atmosphere, lovely little beach my son managed to do a little bit of boogie boarding a bit of a wave not a surfing beach but wasn’t too bad wave wise for a little bit of boogie boarding. Very different how close the beach is to the shops and an old church (now flats) right on the beach, definitely worth the visit.

Chapel Porth Beach has a very steep road on the way down. It is quite narrow, too. Nice little cove. Quite rocky getting down to the beach. Plenty of walks to follow bear by toward the coastal walks. There is a cafe there. Disabled parking is free if you have a blue badge. Or it is pay and display.

Nice little gem of a beach. Small but nice. It's NT with limited parking so I recommend an early arrival to secure a parking spot. Cafe on site open at 10am. Seems to serve good food but lacking on decent beverages. Highly recommend a visit if you're close but unsure.

Nice little beach. Quite small at high tide. Convenient parking.

Beautiful beach, smaller than others but lovely and tranquil to sit and listen to the water. Car park and cafe are right there, too which is perfect.

Nice sandy beach ( national trust ). Small car part, 50 cars or so . Good amenities : excellent cafe , icecream stand and those elusive TOILETS.

Great little beach. Amazing coast line. Lovely walk around to Porthtowan on the beach ( check the tides) and back across the cliffs. Postcard perfect views. The car park is small so get there early or park in the car parks at the top of the cliff and walk down.

A small, secluded hidden beach nestled within the rugged stunning Cornish coastline Fabulous walk along the cliffs to reach this destination great for surfing, accessible by road there is car park by the beach.

Beautiful beach. Minimum waves and stunning sunsets any time of year. Boating club there in summer, nice to watch. Dog friendly all winter and after 6 in the evening summer time. Love it here.

Lovely little beach, steep walk down to it but worth the walk. Waters crystal clear. There are toilets and a little shack offering simple food and drinks.

Sat nav took me wrong way. Struggled to pay with either parking app. Lucky had cash. Lots of water activities going on but I thought the beach quite littered

📍Porthpean Beach 🌊📸 Shingle, Seaweed and the South West Coast Path🏝️🥾. 🚙Parking: JustPark app/machine, £3 for up to 3 hours. 🥾Trail: South West Coast Path to Charlestown, Pentewan Parked at the small car park, a short walk down to the beach. The Beach itself is a small stretch of shingles, with the tide in and seaweeds out. Cafe was closed. Instead, We had a short walk on the south west coast path (the trail wind towards Charlestown and Pentewan), and then headed straight to Carlyon Bay beach.🏖️ #thingstodoinplymouth

A beautiful cove beach, calm southerly waters.. A steep walk to it. Has a small coffee shop and a loo.

Lots of cloud and sea mist about when we visited late in the day but it was nice to stroll along this beach all the same...must be fantastic when the sun's shining! There's a handy car park only 150m away and toilets and a kiosk right in the beach. Great place if you're paddle boarding or kayaking too.

Small, charming and lovely beach. It was quite busy when I visited.

Amazing and lovely seaside village/town. Amazing views anytime of the year, very busy in high season

Lovely place with great views of St Michael's mount and access to the walk way from the beach. Great pasty shop called Phelps in the town too.

A must visit if you're in Cornwall. Got the boat over to the Mount which was the first time I'd done that. Grew up here so kinda took it for granted.

Nice little coastal village and the view of St Michael's Mount is awesome especially when the tide is in

Lovely place. Worth a visit.

Something for everyone. Easy to park, roam. Beech is fine especially at low tide where cool rock pools are. Island well worth a visit. Pretty place. Climbing Park beeches rock pools castle good bar and cafe on beech. Enjoy

Marazion is mainly well known for St. Michael's Mount just off the shore. It is also a picturesque and varied small town which is worth a visit in its own right. There are plenty of good places to eat at any time of day, and also a selection of other shops too. As usual in Cornwall the streets are narrow and winding, without pavements in places, but this just adds to its charm.

Had a nice time here, if you like nature and plants it will be right up your street. Nice restaurant and gift shop. Bit overpriced but you expect it at this kind of place. Accessibility is fine but lots of lifts and walking about required. If you struggle with walking you’ll need a scooter or wheelchair for a nice day out.

Amazing place to visit no matter the weather! There are the inside biomes which are amazing to see in the sun or rain and the wonderful outdoor gardens to see as well. There are great outdoor play areas for kids and if you're feeling adventurous a zip-line that goes over the eden project as well. Definitely worth pre-booking though, to avoid the queues.

My partner booked this for me as a treat on a recent break in Cornwall. My first thought was at approx £40 each was expensive but he had already booked it and I love plants so of course off I trotted. Having spent 5 hours there my mind is now changed on the admission price. I absolutely loved it. There is so much to see for plant lovers and it was a really relaxing walk round. Helped that the weather was great so we could take in all the outside areas too. Had our own packed lunch outside and a couple of cuppas in the cafes along the way.... be prepared to walk a lot and there are some steps/steeper areas but nothing too strenuous. If you have a mobility concern it may be worth checking with their team re accessibility etc. Everyone was really friendly and helpful and they all do an amazing job keeping this project maintained and thriving. I noticed they were installing an ice skating area while we were visiting so that would be lovely over the Autumn/Winter. Also if you re visit within 12 months it's free so that's a plus! All in all a great experience. 👍

This attraction is a huge investment in nature and this partially justifies the high entry price, and anyone with a day ticket can return for free within a year. The biomes are magical and the range of plants and flora is amazing. The partridges walking around are cute! The scale is something to be seen. We visited in October and although we booked for 9:30, we arrived to be told the biomes would open around 10:15 or when they were ready?! There are a lot of older staff who just appear over the whole thing to be honest. It must be a nice place to work because none of the staff we met were overly helpful and seemed to be in no rush whatsoever despite long queues. Speaking to a couple making herbal conversation and they were just unfriendly or slightly sarcastic which seemed odd? It really wasn’t busy, but to get a cup of coffee you have to queue behind people buying meals or light bites so it takes forever. Only one gluten free option for kids, so I was charged an adult price for the worst prepared jacket potato ever. Sandwich was stale had to return it. Gift shop is lovely. My kids unusually asked for us not to return the following day as planned, so I think that says a lot. Wonderful place, needs a customer service reboot.

An incredible place and hidden gem. I recommend either booking in advance to save money on a daily pass or visit in person to buy an annual pass (buy the pass onsite because you might be eligible for additional discounts not shown online). The site is enormous. Be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for a long outing. They say the average visit is 2 hours but those people must be skipping half the park. I would recommend at least 3 hours of you want to see everything.

Lovely place with lots to see and learn. There are two biomes - The Rainforest Biome and The Mediterranean Biome. There are restaurants, gift shops, ice-scream kiosks. It was lovely to see the set-up for a wedding ceremony and reception in the Mediterranean Biome. Nature play grounds for kids. There are some seating areas all over, so you can take a break if needed. Beautiful views, sculptures and plants. It's a lot of walking. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing. Lovely experience overall.

Nice attraction to visit in Cornwall. As it was a partly raining day this was the perfect match for us. The walk up to the top of one of the bubbles was great and worth waiting a while. Nice to see all the different areas like jungle, Italy,… The zip wire looked great but we think it was too expensive - so we did not do that. As a family you have a 1 year membership being able to return for free within this year. Overall: good location but quite expensive

Great gardens to walk around, even the rainy weather didn't spoil it. Some steep pathways so bear that in mind if you have mobility issues. A great way to spend a few hours.

Been a while lovely to return. Loving the blues of the hydrangea. Free use of a tramper is a good addition for those who need assistance. Great day to chill on the beach before the hike back up. The new to us walled garden was worth a visit.

Random visit for us as we had planned other places, very glad we went. It poured with rain the whole time but this made it feel even more special. The plants and walks around are amazing and a kid park for the kids to enjoy. Would 100% recommend to all.

Wow what an amazing garden! It's got so many fascinating plants and all grown with so much vigor! The garden is in a valley so you walk down one side and walk back up the other. The paths are well maintained but there's a lot of walking up slopes. Lovely icecream shop by the beach.

A beautiful garden, with a rich variety of plants set in a very special location. The cafe food was excellent quality too, it was fairly priced for what you receive and I would definitely visit to enjoy it again. Entry cost for your ticket is quite pricey which is my only reservation which will stop me returning too regularly- but I'd highly recommend and it's certainly worthwhile.

We went with a coach party and parking wasn't a problem. The garden reminded me of the Gardens of Heligan but on a smaller scale and with less diversity of plants. The planting includes lots of bamboo, hydrangeas and tree ferns. The paths wind their way down to the beach where there is a cafe with outside tables. You can do a circular walk to return to the car park. There is a shop, cafe, toilets and small plant centre before the exit.

My wife and I loved this ravine garden... Excellent parking, very modern visitor centre with toilets, cafe and customer seating..helpful staff for regular and first time visitors...shop for gifts and plants. Very clear map of paths leading down to the beach with hard standing area, picnic benches and (on our visit) the option of tea coffee ice cream and snacks... wonderful views across the Helford estuary.

Lovely walk through an exotic woodland downhill to a tiny fishing village (some of which is now holiday cottages) and stony beach with beautiful views over river estuary. Energetic walk back uphill via the maze halfway which was great fun . There were some flowers but I went at wrong time of year for them but thoroughly enjoyed the gardens nevertheless. Refreshments and toilets at top and bottom of path.

Excellent! Beautiful gardens. The cafe is great too. The maze is a real highlight and so much fun! Harder than it looks! We walked down to the beach from the garden and it was really lovely! I did find the second hand bookshop a little more over priced than usual.Highly recommend!

Wow, what an a great garden, there's a lot to see. If you have limited mobility then be warned that most of the garden is on a slope so there's a lot of walking up and down hill. There's some fabulous and different plants here, all of which are well cared for. You can walk down to the beach which is a lovely place to chill. The maze is fantastic fun and challenging being on a slope. Don't miss the massive tulip tree as you walk in which is incredible! There's a lovely cafe selling tasty cakes and drinks, some of which are traditional to Cornwall.

Lovely relaxing atmosphere, dogs allowed on lead except the maze, orchard and schoolhouse which is fine. Great cafe but dogs are outside - website says inside on the left but it doesn’t have any walls so really it’s outside with a canopy. Pebbly beach but still relaxing with an ice-cream hut. Dogs are allowed here too but on a lead. My mum who is 80 managed this walk with a few stops at the benches dotted around the site.

A lovely garden to leisurely wonder around. The plants and trees are very well displayed, with info on some of them.The little village at the bottom of the garden is very quaint with the little beach where you can sit and have a ice cream before you start back up the hill. The grandchildren really enjoyed the maze.The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a very good day out.

Fun activity for 3-4 hours with the kids. Maze, apple shed and the games nearby (connect4, big jenga blocks etc.) were really fun for the kids. Great walk down to the village near the beach and really tasty local ice cream from there. Finally some jacket potatoes back at the cafe near entrance to top the day.

We returned on Sunday, many years after our last visit. Still as beautiful as we remembered it. We had to take the easier route, as this time we had our grandson in his pushchair with us! Walked down to the village and beach, stopping for an ice-cream. Such a lovely spot. The flowers and trees in the gardens are stunning. We didn't attempt the maze this time, as previously, I remember it took us a long time to find our way out! Had some sandwiches and cake at the top café before our journey home - all delicious. Well worth a visit if you're in the Falmouth area.

Clean, safe beach where the water never really gets higher than your waist. The carpark is right behind the beach and only £5 for a day. There are toilets and a nice shop + cafe. Really accessible and fun for families.

Lovely amazing clean beach Allowed dog's Steps down to the beach (around 20 ) Flat once down from spacious car park

Gorgeous beach which is dog friendly. Only one flight of steps onto the beach from the car park. Shops and toilets in the car park. Really enjoyed our walk here even if it was raining.

Lovely beach, dog friendly, good rockpools at low tide, toilets and carpark close by.

Lovely place for the day. very busy in the summer only one shop and car park but very clean..

Nice and calm spot for a paddle board or swim

Amazing dog friendly beach!!

Lovely little family friendly beach. Plea ty of parking in June on Saturday.

Very nice shingle beach (tiny stones, not large pebbles) with a slightly more sandy area next to the sea. Carpark opposite, a bit pricey but convenient. Beach side snack bar with plenty to eat and drink to the left (as you face the sea). Restaurant on the low cliff area to the right. Excellent for kayaking and other non power water activities.

Lovely chill beach with parking, cafe and restaurant on the rocks!

A very lovely beach, with a great cafe and good parking. Standard beach for sun soaking or swimming, and lots of rocky parts and coastal paths for the more adventurous and exploratory. Some parts are dog friendly and some are not, so best to check beforehand.

Beautiful beach, not too busy. Dogs restrictions during summer. Nowhere to eat, has toilets near car park. Lovely walk over to next beach, with summer dog restrictions. Unable to find place for food, with dogs. Came across mobile food bar with excellent food and good coffee.

Beautiful beach. Out of all Falmouth beaches, this is my favourite one to swim. It's a clear water beach and is perfect for a family day out. It has a nice cafe. Car park and toilets are across the road.

A lovely small beach that has a surfing school and a cafe by the beach. It’s probably visited by the locals more, but does have people come here from a distance too. It looks like a sandy beach, but it’s actually a pebble beach… so the water is Christal clear… apart from the shallowest point where all the tiny stones are washed onto the beach. Beautiful view at the sea front and also the local area. It also has a big paid car park near by where they also have mini golf there. I loved my visit!

Beautiful beach sheltered from the winds by high cliff faces on either side. Well looked after by lifeguards and a few places to eat inland, plus walks up the coast, and even a rock pool built into the coastline! Gets busy in summer (as you would expect), so parking is at a premium - surf hire also available by the beach.

This is an absolutely fantastic place. I visit here regularly. The land time forgot. The car is a 2-minute walk from the beach. They have a nice play area for children. They have nice bars, restaurants, great food, delicious ice cream, and surf shops. It is a little piece of heaven. Cheers, Vince.

Cosy surfing spot also popular with families. In high season, it gets saturated with tourists so much so that the fish & chip shop run out of cod, and advance booking at the Unicorn is essential.

A great beach to walk the dog in the off season when the tide is out. Rock pools to explore and the headland shelters you from some of the coastal breeze. Parking wasn't an issue and there seemed to be plenty of places to eat nearby.

Lovely place to watch the sunset, nice bars and a great little beach.. dogs not allowed on the beach in the day time... evenings ok👍

Beautiful scenery, very clean with plenty of bins provided fo4 disposal of rubbish. Some cafes and a small shop on the beach front plus pub and chip shop further up the street. Kids loved the beach and swimming in the sea. Lifeguards on duty between certain day time hours with visible presence and easy to contact. Very family friendly beach and also great for rockpooling. Looks even better when the tide is out due to more little coves to explore but amazing whatever time you visit. I haven't seen 4 teen boys who usually love computers smile that much being outdoors. There is also a clear little stream that runs over the beach and into the sea which was ideal for the kids to wash their sandy feet off on the way back to the car.

A really lovely beach with easy access from the parking lot (that is if you arrive early enough to get a spot, count on before 10 am on a sunny day). Only 4 stars because dogs are banned during the high season months, a sign in the parking lot or in town would be nice. Most beaches are dog friendly along the coast I really don’t understand why this one has to be an exception ?!

Amazing beach for the dog and family, seeing the erosion in the rock is beautiful too!

Beautiful beach, well maintained. Great coastline, I would however consider avoiding this beach if you are not a confident driver as the approach to the beach is narrow roads (single track), high hedges and a steep decent to the car park. Parking is cheap and can be done through an app or cash. The car park is spacious. We found the immediate entrance to the beach got quite busy but if you are willing to walk 5 minutes either way the beach becomes alot quieter and you basically have your own slice of cornish heaven. The water was crystal clear but had quite alot of jelly fish. If you are wanting to go swimming I would suggest a wet suit to avoid potential stings. The best beach we found on this trip, will definitely return

First time here.. absolutely beautiful!! Nice respectable family place, unfortunately no toilet facilities near by or anywhere to buy food or drink so pack everything you want or need.

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful beach. Carpark can fill up quickly. Tea, coffee and cake van available in the car park. Toilets available in the car park. National trust carpark.

A large beach with easy access (no steps), there's a small amount of parking by the beach itself with large, disabled friendly bays. There's also an additional carpark with access to walks. The drive down is narrow but we'll worth it all. If you're staying at the Nare Hotel it's easy to walk down to. There's quite a shallow run off to the water, which is great for the family. Good beach especially during the summer!

Very pleasant, soft sand beach with easy access, there is a ramp if you have a wheelchair. Lots of parking on the road and close by N.T. car park. See the novel use of a WW2 pill box near the ramp. Take the Coastal Path here for Nare Head.

Shhhh its mine don't go here yer not welcome It's not got great coffee or ice cream and the parking is rubbish You will hate it here

What a lovely hidden gem of Cornwall, only found this as I was looking for less known places in Cornwall. It's a little difficult to get down and very steep so make sure you're fit enough to trek the very steep and uneven path down. But once you do get down it's very rewarding, and well worth it. It's pretty quiet, great for swimming and fantastic views, good vibe and everyone is in a good mood here.

Nice walk with fantastic views. Lovely secluded, quiet beach. But be warned, the trek back up is long and hard work, particularly in hot weather!

Great Cornish beach. We walked all the way down the coast path from Polruan. With the lovely views over the channel. The walk down to the beach is challenging at points but definitely worth it once you're down. The sea is swimmable here but we didn't due to it being rather windy and choppy.

It was amazing to be here , a bit tricky to get down to the beach 🏖️ but it was worth it , Car parking 🚘 right on the corner , maybe 5 min walk from the beach 🏝️ will go there again . 😻

I have never been to a beach where you get stunning views whilst walking down! Climbing down is really scary and climbing up is really hard (roughly over 100 steps). The beach itself is very small but very relaxing. It is mainly stones and not sand though. There's parking nearby but it's extremely hard to get parking there though. Overall, a fantastic experience! Highly recommend unless you're afraid of heights.

Fabulous beach. But hard to get away from the eternal plastic waste. I took a share. If we could all take a bit, we might get it cleared.

Beautiful secluded beach, it does shelve quickly to sand to about three feet in depth. Right upto September the sea is warm, about 17 to 18c. The path down is steep and you should wear good walking shoes.

I don’t have much photo about the stunning bay in close distance. However, it will be a special experience if you spend over 30 minutes to get here like us from Land’s End. You will walk and pass bush around 3 feet tall, and some plant is with thorns. In summertime, the water trapped in rock pool is bit icy. Suppose anyone live in place not having 10C difference in a day, it might take time to get comfortable with. Despite I didn’t swim to the end that reach the sea with armpit distance, I can still find the beauty for this little rocky beach.

Great destination to hike to from either Lands End or Porthgwarra car parks. If you want to get close to the famous sea arch then check your tide times and aim for low tide. Beach sand comes and goes. It was just large rocks when I was there last. There are steps down to it too.

It's really nice, and the sea is as clean as crystal. I started walking from lands end and it was amazing how stunning it was along the way. And there I could see seals playing in the sea in the middle of nature, it's not in the zoo 19/6/2025

Visited last year lovely beach with an awesome cave that you can swim in during low tide. The beach is a little tricky to get to as it's not near any roads. It's accessable by footpath from Trevescan or along the southwest coastal path from landsend. For parking, i recommend using the landsend carpark as that's probably the closest.

Beautiful scenery at this rocky beach. We hiked here from the Sennen Cove bus stop (via Lands end) and went back inland through the public footpath to catch a bus back. A great hike with 2 kids (9 and 11). Beautiful and easy.

If you’re expecting a fabulous beach then DO NOT bother wasting your valuable time making the effort to trudge over rocky terrain and steep descents etc which will take you at least an hour ( you’d have to be running for it to take you less) to come across a “beach” that’s not even worth calling a beach in my opinion.

One of my favourite places in the UK for a swim! Absolutely stunning! You could honestly be in the tropics.

Wow and wow, just next door to Tintangle beach A walk down a slope and 34 steps, worth it Lifeguards Dogs allowed Small off road car parking and a lye by Dogs allowed

I used to live in Plymouth. We would go to this beach late at night, set up a bbq and sleep there. Magical. Long time ago now (30 years). I hope it’s as magical for you.

Beautiful bay. Some great sand, rocks and cliffs. The only thing we struggled with was the descent from the top of the cliff. It was STEEP! There isn't much to hold on to either. The kids struggled, so did my parents and me with asthma. There must have been an easier way down but we didn't know where. Once down, though, we were fine and the lifeguard kept a good eye on everyone. Xxxx

My absolute favourite beach! The sea is so clear. Feels like a little piece of heaven. Quite a steep walk, not pram friendly. Can't wait to visit again! It has the most peaceful atmosphere, and the views are unreal!

Outstandingly breathtaking. The drive is nail-biting but incredible. Outrageously steep cliffs to climb down and up, and many hidden routes. You gotta be quite fit! Beautifully clear water and sandy beaches stretch for miles. You just can't get bored! This is a must. Visit every beaches across Whitsand and make your way to Rame Head for more stunning views. Deep breaths and enjoy 😉

It's was actually tregantle fort beach that I went to. Golden sands, crystal clear and calm waters, Not that I would ever take it for granted.. jellyfish and silver fishes swimming about. Life guards are present at the beach. Enough beach for everyone 🙂 I will say though, the owners of dogs, please pick up their mess and dispose of it in a proper manner..

Great walks and hikes up and down to.some beautiful beaches

Very beautiful little beach set in a small dip between two cliffs. Very clean water, very soft sand, with simple amenities (shop, toilets) right on the beach. 15 min walk from the town centre across the top of the cliffs with stunning views across the river. Shop has a large variety of gifts, beach items and hot/cold drinks, snacks with the staff being super friendly, funny, despite the extremely busy time when we visited. A lovely day out all round.

A charming but tiny, old-world, beach with tea kiosk, deckchairs, clean toilets and a shelter if the weather turns inclement. Also rock scrambling for the kids. Wonderful

Beautiful cove, well worth a visit. Sweet little beach with toilets and a kiosk.

Absolutely loved it here 🤩🤩 About a 20 minutes walk from Fowey, no where to park near this beach, which actually makes it quite quiet, compared to other ones we have been too. We got the ferry over from Polruran and walked to the beach. Clear water, and sandy little cove. One of our favourite holiday memories 👍🏻👍🏻

Lovely little cove 🏖️ with a toilet 🚻 and a small shop 🛍️ right at the edge. It does get very busy during school holiday breaks 📅, so best to arrive early if you want a spot in the car park at the top 🚗 — spaces are limited. The water is generally calm 🌊 with not many waves, and there’s plenty of space for children to play safely 👧🧒. A great spot for a relaxed family day out!

Readymoney Cove is a small and picturesque beach tucked in between two headlands approximately a ten minute walk from Readymoney carpark or a fifteen minute walk from Fowey town centre. There's a shop and toilets here too. Access to the South West Coastal Path and St Catherine's Castle is possible from the beach but the paths and steps are quite difficult to climb and descend.

Perfect little cove, not overly busy even on a sunny afternoon in school holidays. Presumably because there's no easy road access because of the lack of parking. Beautiful clean sand and water, a bathing platform, a little shop/cafe and loos. What more could you want?

Have visited many times here it’s a nice little beach/harbour area it’s not somewhere you would choose to swim due to it being so rocky and the beach is only small but it is lovely to spend some time go for a little walk. You can park along the road or car parks which charge. There is often historic ships in the dock unfortunately we didn’t get to see the ‘pirate ships’ which was the carrot to get the kids to go… they liked seeing cannons and old barrels and the short walk. It’s lovely feels like a step back in time… it’s not your sandy day at the beach beach as long as your aware and your expectations are aligned then it’s great. Lots of bars, eateries and galleries plus a museum here so chance to learn a few things and educate yourself…

Nice little spot. Good parking which is relatively cheap. Plenty of places to eat and public toilets the museum is a little bit expensive at £8 each, although we didn’t go in so inside may be a spectacular! The harbour walls are pretty cool although the right hand side was closed when we visited.

Must view town on Cornish coast where Poldark was also filmed. Spare an afternoon to get lunch and potter around galleries and gift shops.

Charlestown is full of history, lots to do it's definitely worth a visit.

Charming must visit little harbour with parking ( fee payable) at the top of the street, I believe it gets very busy in summer as thier are several places to eat and bars on the harbour side with outside seating. There is a couple of large vessel's permanently moored in the harbour one at least has a resturant on board - lovely little place ❤️

Stunning small beach. Worth a visit. The sea was so clear,it was almost tropical, and the sun was shining which made it even better. The beach was beautiful and well kept. No litter in sight. Lovely views out to sea and of the harbour/port. Definitely worth taking a walk down from the harbour. Even went for a little paddle as the water was so warm. Highly recommend the visit!

Interesting and quaint harbour that is a world heritage site. Restaurants, pub and museum were all interesting. Could be busy but a good walk along the coastal path.

Stunning beach on the roseland coast. There is also a national trust car park and another car park for carne beach a little way up on the same stretch of sand. Nice little coffee hut on the right of the beach that does snacks, coffee, ice cream. A place of timeless beauty.

Lovely sandy beach. It’s long and gently sloping so if you go in to paddle or swim you won’t need to worry about it shelving away below you. A few jelly fish but I didn’t see any rubbish at all. Even though it’s the school summer holidays the beach wasn’t busy.

We ended up at this beach because the beach we were going to the car park was full. I am glad it was because this beach is amazing. The car park is National Trust with a good few spaces but make sure you have coins on you to pay for the parking. The beach itself is great at low tide lots of sand to enjoy, most people stay by the path so better to the right hand side. Lots of rock pools to explore and there is a cafe to buy drinks, ice creams and food. 5 out of 5 rating.

Just lovely. It was fairly quiet as it was the end of August. Lovely little place to get ice cream and a nice little car park. Had a wonderful wok along this beautiful beach. Great views.

Lovely little beach, not easy to get to which means it’s not overcrowded. Really good waves so quite a few surfers. Most dog walkers ignoring signs but no crazy out of control dogs when we were there. We didn’t get chance to visit the pub as we walked from veryan.

Lovely beach . Clean. Nice little cafe.

Beautiful beach, make sure you get there early for a parking space. Single track road can get busy and there are limited passing places so be ready to reverse! Nice little cafe selling ice creams, coffees, pitta pockets and panini.

Beautiful beach with cafe and bars serving food and drink + surf school. Plenty of parking. Machines take cards, cash or payment via Just Park App. Well worth a visit.

Amazing! Beautiful long sandy beach, surf hire and food places right on the beach. They offer surf lessons here too. Does get a little crowded though but that’s to be expected. There’s some stunning coves around this patch of coastline though if you’re inclined to some exploring like I am!

I've grown up on this beach literally, the changes here sadden me. Smelly burger bars, vehicle recognition parking. Greed all around. But the sand is the same, bless.

Great parking pay and display, toilets closed by - (free) I believe you can stay over night also , two beach huts for food and drinks

Lovely beach, dog friendly, easy parking, food available at the beach, clifftop walks. 😎

Great place. Amazing view

Beautiful dog friendly beach. Lots of parking. Reception in the car park can be tricky for using parking apps unless you're up the top.

Great place to visit with something for everyone. We choose to visit here over The Eden project as its dog friendly in all areas and we didn’t want to leave our dog all day. There were acres of beautiful gardens, sculptures and tropical jungle. There’s a farm animal area and wooden play park for the kids. Brilliant day out and cherished memories made. Only issue is paying for parking when you still have to pay for entry. Not a big issue but it would have been nice to expect this prior to turning up and knowing you will be required to park in the farm shop premises next door. This is not very clearly communicated and it made parking more complicated than necessary. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely safe place to go with the kids, lots of amenities, lots of different things to do. The way the trees are trained in the garden area is stunning. The rare breed of farm animals are cool to see, the jungle is amazing (but not suitable for everyone because of how steep slopes are), and the children's play area is enormous.

Our satnav kept taking us around in circles looking for this place which we thought was the real reason for the title of “Lost Gardens” In addition, some of the tight little lanes with high Cornish hedges were tricky enough but we arrived at one that was only wide enough for a quad bike!! Sat nav reprogramming required! Lovely place when we got there and the plants and tree collection was amazing. Everything clean and tidy. My only reservation was that signage could have been clearer.

Really enjoyed our visit. We started with a nice lunch in the kitchen, lots of space and food was decent. Nice to see quite a few ingredients taken from the garden. The actual gardens are spectacular, really varied and interesting. Enjoyed the signs and photographs of past gardeners, interesting to hear about the history. The restoration has been done really sympathetically. We enjoyed the kitchen garden and was amazed to see how they grow pineapples. Around every corner is something to suprise and delight you. We stopped for a cup of tea at Stewards House which was nice. The playground looked amazing and can see how much the kids enjoyed it. We really enjoyed the jungle and suspension bridge. Amazing to see how varied all the plant life is. We then did a walk around the outer path and saw a couple of amazing sculptures. All in all a great day out.

Wow! What an amazing garden! There's so much to see. There's a great selection of cakes in the cafe. The gardens are in 2 parts, one is the more formal area and the other is the park. They are all very pretty and have lots to offer. The paths around the main area are mainly easy to walk on but as you get out onto the wider estate it gets more challenging. This garden is probably at It's best in spring but has lots to offer all year round. The only thing is is that there Is no discounts for Oap's, carers etc. You have to pay to park which is £3.50 for the day.

Fantastic gardens. I found the story very moving. The jungle is amazing. Beware its very steep in places. You might have to pay to park - but we were given a coupon for a free drink because of this. Cafe is lovely. Highly recommend

Lovely place to visit and much bigger than we expected! Unless you spend in the cafe at the farm shop on the way in or out (not the farm shop) you do have to pay for parking as well which I thought was a bit of a pee take. You can't exactly get the bus there so you pay admission AND parking. It was a nice afternoon though.

Had a couple of trips here during our holiday in Gweek , once you have brought your ticket you can go as many times as you like for a year! Fantastic views here and plenty of places to have a picnic as well as look at the seals and puffins . Didn’t see any beavers in the secret creek but a nice woodland walk to their home . Recommend buying tickets in advance to get a good discount

Truly a heart warming and wonderful place. The programme they follow to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home the seals is magnificent. If you watch the Puffins long enough they start doing all manor of silly things. Even though the beaver was asleep, to see what they achieve with their forest management skills is amazing. The farm animals are lovely. And the Ancient forest the sanctuary is set on is oozing history. Im excited to come again and see where they have gotten upto with their remodeling of some of the enclosures for the seals. The plans they have on show look needed, beneficial and helpful in the sanctuaries future goals. Highly recommend. Oh...and the gift shops great too!

What a spot! We did the VIP breakfast and Dawson was a fantastic tour guide and the breakfast hit the spot. I would 100% recommend a visit and you could definitely spend a few hours or a morning just wondering around and watching the seals and other wildlife. If your in the area stop in...

It's a lovely place if you fancy a small day out. You can explore the whole place within a couple hours, which isn't a bad thing especially if you are taking your time or with children. The talks they have are very informative, they have a food and drinks shop located at the centre of the ground, which is also next to the children's play area. Overall I really enjoyed my day out here, it was fun seeing all the seals and other animals having a nice time.

Fantastic exhibits with great live talks giving insights into the history and day to day activities of the sanctuary. The seals are adorable and full of personality! I loved the nature walk portions where you can fully experience the beauty of Gweek (and maybe spot a few cheeky beavers.)

It's been 10 years and more since my last visit. Definitely better catering and toilets. It's a aesthetically pleasing location. Stunning views and the seals seem to have personalities. Experienced a few talks all delivered with passion and knowledge. Will be back.

I wanted to come here for a while, but holiday days & timings just didn't seem to work out, but this week I finally managed it & I was not disappointed at all. From the warm welcome as you enter, this place just feels so warm & enjoyable as you walk around to meet with the seals, etc. We were able to listen to the talks & experience the fun & joy during the seals feeding time. The team taking care of these animals were helpful, knowledgeable & clearly love their jobs & time spent with them. A great visit & time for us spent walking the park taking photos, plus a well enjoyed cup of tea in the sunshine. Thanks to all the team during our visit, we plan to visit again ASAP.

Very nice beach with clear water. The tide does go out quite far though so you have to walk out very far to get to the water. The waves are also very large, which makes body boarding and surfing very fun

Absolutely stunning beach! Soft golden sands, crystal clear sea, backdrop of rolling sand dunes, its our favourite beach in the world! Amazing sunsets too 💕

Amazing beach!! This beach stretches around 3 miles and forms part of Godrevy Beach which as my review on that one, if you’re a lover of Sunsets then this is the place to come! Personally I’ve not found a better beach anywhere. Some of the ones in North Devon and on the far Welsh coast get close, but no cigar I’m afraid. As for parking, slightly tricky one as the holiday sites tend to run along this one but you could park up near the Sunset Cafe or there’s a large car park near the Bluff Inn, then you have beach access via a ramp and steps. If you’re into your outdoor photography then this place is heaven.

Walked down the full length a few times which is a decent walk. Got absolutely soak on one occasion. Lots of caves to explore and stacked rocks near the back of the beach.

Absolutely stunning beach and nature reserve. Been on incredible adventures and enjoyed plenty of holidays near here.

Stunning beach. 3 miles long, lovely white soft sand. Can be quite windy, but a great place to be for the day when the sun is shining. There are a few alcoves where you can stay out of the wind, and it’s patrolled by RNLI. A couple of cafes dotted around but this is quite a remote beach, so best to take your own supplies (or be prepared to walk a decent stretch to get to the cafe).

Gorgeous stretch of natural sandy beach, popular for water sports. Due to its general inaccessibility, it is usually lightly used. I think there's a life guard hut on the cliffs over looking the beach, but no actual lifeguards on the beach. There's a small pay and display car park, privately owned, along a very rough track at the end of Sandy Lane. Better pay and display car parking is available at the council owned Gwithian Towans Long Stay one by Gwithian beach, close to the Sunset Surf Cafe.

Beautiful as always - really hot wonderful views and beaches Highly recommend They even had deck chairs to hire all day for £7 which is a great deal!

Stunning! It rained the whole day but it didn’t detract from the beauty of this place. Absolutely wonderful. Lovely cafes & shops. All dog friendly too - it was perfect 👌

Lovely bay with four separate beaches. Lots of accommodation and a lot of authentic shops, bars and cafes. Parking is a bit limited and this is a very busy town with tourists.

One of the best beaches in the UK. If you are a surfer or someone interested in exploring surfing you shouldn't miss this beach. I had my first surfing experience and I loved it. You can rent a surf board of your choice and a bodysuit for an affordable price. Note - Plan your parking if you are driving as this place doesn't have plenty of parking spaces. There is a small private parking lot near the beach but you may not get a bay easily.

Crystal clear beaches, amazing scenery. We visited at the end of May and got full sunshine throughly our visit. This beach is the busiest along the coastline, as it has a mini high street on Fort St. which is a 2 minute walk from the beach. Plenty of restaurants to choose from unlike other beaches nearby. I would advise getting the local train or public transport service to the area, as parking is limited.

Travelling to St Ives by train from St Erth you can enjoy the Coastal views. Eating a Cornish Pastie and having a coffee on the seafront dodging seagulls. I really love St Ives.

Lovely beach. You can rent wet suits and surfboards at the kiosk and the waves are wonderful. Seems to be a very popular place for it. The beach goes on for a few miles around the coast so there is lots of bandwidth for walks or just relaxing on the beach. I hope to return again as I loved this beach.

Absolutely beautiful and not as busy as Land's End. Cheaper car park literally a stone's throw from the official car park with an honesty box for £3 all day parking. Stunning coastal walks and a very pretty but steep bridle path up into the village. Wavecrest cafe did the best full English breakfast I've ever had!

We went on a spectacular stormy sea day. Was rather windy but they're are so many beautiful walks you don't mind 💗 There is plenty of parking at the national trust car parks free to members or a charge or on the village green which is currently cash only by donation. If in peak times of summer I'd advise arriving early as folks up very quickly. We visited on 31 Oct. So was easy for us being locals.

Fantastic trail with breathtaking sea views! The walk is absolutely stunning, and we even came across some friendly cows along the route, which made it extra special. A beautiful place to explore and soak in Cornwall’s coastal scenery.

The car park is well-staffed, and a reasonable £4.00 fee grants you two hours of parking. A brief walk from there leads to some absolutely stunning views. For wildlife enthusiasts, there are two recreational telescopes set up, perfect for observing the seals lounging contentedly on the rocks. The area also features a couple of cafes, restroom facilities, and some lovely art and gift shops. Don't miss the impressive old lifeboat station! One minor suggestion: it would be great if the tripod legs on the telescopes could be adjusted to better accommodate children. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit, and the best part is that there's no entry fee, just the parking charge.

Amazing view point. Beautiful walkways. We did see some seals lying on the shore. Rocky cliffs adds beauty to the landscape.

The most Southerly point in Great Britain. An interesting place to visit if you in that part of Cornwall. Succulents covering in rocky cliffs and rare Choughs flying around. Worth a trip.

Fantastic spot with the most beautiful views of the sea. The Sun reflections and the sea colours attract your sight and you don't want to leave this place. Quite often you could spot seals here and there is even dedicated wildlife watchpoint.
