Explore Cornwall’s Beautiful Beaches

 

Cornwall is home to some of the UK’s most stunning beaches, and we’re fortunate to be situated in an ideal location, just a stone’s throw from some of the most picturesque and family-friendly sandy beaches on the South Coast. The nearest beaches are no more than 2 miles away, with many more along the South Coast easily accessible within a short drive. And for those who love the rugged beauty of Cornwall, the surfing beaches of the North Coast are also within easy reach.

 

Portholland Beach is a fantastic choice for families, offering safe bathing for adults and plenty of rock pools for children to explore. This village-owned beach is a National Heritage Asset, and its charm has remained unchanged for over a century. Beachside parking is available at both ends, as well as toilets and refreshments during the summer months. The approach roads are narrow, and dogs are welcome on the western end of the beach year-round. 

 

Porthluney Cove is a hidden gem, a privately owned, secluded family beach with a large expanse of golden sand. Set against the stunning backdrop of Caerhays Castle and Gardens, the beach is perfect for a day of swimming, sunbathing, or exploring the rocks at low tide. The beach is also dog-friendly year-round, and its peaceful, south-facing position makes it a favorite for locals. Facilities include a car park (daily charge), a seasonal cafe, a picnic area, and basic toilet facilities. While there is no lifeguard cover, the water quality is regularly tested and meets European bathing water standards. A visit to Caerhays Castle and its grounds is highly recommended, particularly in spring when the gardens are in full bloom.
